- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The complainant made a six part request for information collated in the investigation into an explosion and the subsequent charge and conviction of Contract Natural Gas Limited. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) refused to provide this, citing section 30(1)(c), section 32, and section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CPS was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(c) of FOIA to withhold the information in its entirety. He has not therefore considered the application of section 32 and section 40(2). No steps are required.
