Police Service of Northern Ireland

The complainant requested the statements forming part of the inquest file relating to an investigation undertaken by the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), then part of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). PSNI refused the request in reliance on sections 30(1)(a)(i) and 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that PSNI was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(a)(i) and she does not require any steps to be taken.
