Police Service of Northern Ireland

The complainant requested information relating to a specified address during the 1970s. The PSNI refused to confirm or deny whether it held any relevant information, citing the exemptions at sections 23(5), 24(2), 30(3), 31(3) and 40(5) of the Act. The Commissioner finds that the PSNI correctly applied the exemptions, and does not require any further steps to be taken. However the Commissioner also recorded a number of procedural breaches.
