Greater Manchester Police

The complainant requested information from Greater Manchester Police (“GMP”) about civil cases brought against GMP and the corresponding cost to the tax payer between 2018 and 2019. The Commissioner’s decision is that GMP failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires GMP to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA.
