Police Federation of England and Wales

The complainant has requested information about staff management structure and salaries within the public authority. The Police Federation of England (“the Federation”) provided an organisational chart but declined to provide specific job titles below the level of director and specific salaries, citing section 40(2) (personal data) and section 22 (information intended for future publication). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Police Federation is not entitled to rely on section 22 to withhold the information. The Commissioner requires the Federation to disclose the withheld information.
