Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire

The complainant has requested information relating to its Police and Crime Commissioner (‘PCC’) from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire (‘OPCC’). The OPCC provided some information, said some was exempt under section 22 of FOIA as it was intended for future publication (which it later removed reliance on) and said the remainder was not held as it related to the PCC in person rather than the OPCC. The complainant disputed that the OPCC was the rightful public authority for the purpose of FOIA and required that the PCC responded in person. The Commissioner’s decision is that the OPCC dealt with the request appropriately. No steps are required.
