The Commissioner’s decision is that PSNI was entitled to rely on section 43(2) in respect of the withheld information. The Commissioner is further satisfied that PSNI correctly denied that it held some of the requested information. No steps are required. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0292 allowed in part.
