Thames Valley Police
- Date 3 May 2023
- Sector Police and criminal justice
- Decision(s) FOI 30(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to a traffic collision which occurred in August 2021. Thames Valley Police refused to provide the information under Sections 30(1) (investigations and proceedings) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Thames Valley Police were correct to rely on Section 30(1) of the FOIA to withhold the information and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. There was therefore no need for the Commissioner to consider section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
