- Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in relation to financial crime training for CPS Officers. CPS provided some information in relation to the request, however for the remainder of the request, it advised that it does not hold the requested information. The CPS also advised that it was not required to produce the information for some parts of the request, as they are not asking for recorded information; they are asking for an opinion. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the CPS is correct to confirm that it does not hold the requested information. The Commissioner is also satisfied that the CPS was correct to refuse to provide a response to the parts of the request where the complainant has asked for opinions. The Commissioner does not require the CPS to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
