Gwent Police

The complainant requested log details of all incidents referring to two named properties. Gwent Police would neither confirm nor deny whether it held relevant information citing section 40(5)(b)(i) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Gwent Police has correctly relied on section 40(5)(b)(i) to neither confirm nor deny whether it holds relevant information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
