Crown Prosecution Service

The complainant has requested information relating to the review carried out by Alison Levitt QC about the Crown Prosecution Service’s involvement in allegations against Jimmy Savile. The Crown Prosecution Service (“CPS”) cited provisions of section 36 as its basis for withholding this information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CPS is entitled to rely on the provisions of section 36 that it has cited as a basis for refusing to provide the requested information. No steps are required.
