Surrey Police

The complainant requested the total number of speeding offences on the M23 since the introduction of a 50 miles per hour speed limit. Surrey Police refused to provide the requested information, citing section 38 (health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey Police was incorrect to cite sections 38(1)(a) and (b) to withhold the requested information. She requires Surrey Police to disclose the requested information within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice.
