Gwent Police

The complainant requested copies of emails which had been sent to certain domains. Gwent Police initially stated that the information requested was exempt under section 40(2) (Personal information) of the FOIA. In its internal review, Gwent Police applied section 12 (Cost of compliance) to the request. During the Commissioner’s investigation Gwent Police withdrew reliance on section 12 and confirmed that no information was held. The Commissioner finds that Gwent Police breached sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA in failing to inform the complainant that the requested information was not held within the statutory timescale. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
