North Yorkshire Police

The complainant requested information about drone pilots at a specified race meeting in York. Ultimately, North Yorkshire Police (‘NYP’) provided some of the requested information but withheld the remainder under section 40(2), the exemption for personal information, of FOIA. The complainant disputed NYP’s reliance on section 40(2) and considered that parts of his request were not responded to in full. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, NYP confirmed it was relying on section 40(2) for the remaining parts of the request disputed by the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that NYP is not entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA for the remaining withheld information on the basis of its submissions submitted to him. The Commissioner requires NYP to disclose the requested information within 35 calendar days of this decision notice.

FOI 40: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-95798
