Chief Constable West Yorkshire Police

The complainant has requested information about a particular set of speed cameras. West Yorkshire Police (“WYP”) refused to disclose the requested information, citing sections 31(1)(a) and (b) (law enforcement) of FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that WYP correctly applied sections 31(1)(a) and (b) to withhold the requested information, and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require WYP to take any further steps.
