- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to locations at which child sexual exploitation had taken place. West Midlands Police (WMP) withheld this information under the exemption provided by section 30(1)(a) (information held for the purposes of an investigation) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that WMP cited section 30(1)(a) correctly and so it was not obliged to disclose this information.
