- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 12(2): Not upheld, FOI 16(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from Dyfed Powys Police (“the public authority”) regarding the number of times it received a completed GP pro-forma direct from a specific surgery for a shotgun license renewal since January 2021. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to apply section 12(2) of FOIA and he is satisfied that it has met its obligations under section 16 of FOIA to offer advice and assistance. However, as the public authority failed to respond to the request within 20 working days, it has breached section 10(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
