Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police

  • Date 2 February 2021
  • Sector Police and criminal justice
  • Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld

The complainant requested information relating to the timing of freedom of information requests processed by West Yorkshire Police during a specified timeframe. The Commissioner’s decision is that West Yorkshire Police failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and therefore breached section 10(1) (time for compliance with request) of the FOIA. As the response has been provided, the Commissioner does not require West Yorkshire Police to take any steps in relation to this decision notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2021/0062 allowed in part.
