Information Commissioner's Office

The complainant has requested information associated with an investigation into data loss by South Yorkshire Police. The ICO’s final position was to disclose some information due to the passage of time, and to withhold the remainder under sections 31(1)(g) and 44(1) of FOIA. These exemptions concern law enforcement and prohibitions on disclosure, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 31(1)(g) and 44(1)(a) are engaged and he doesn’t require further steps.
