Chief Constable Leicestershire Police

The complainant has requested information relating to Palantir Technologies UK Ltd. Leicestershire Police refused to disclose the requested information, citing sections 24(1) (National security), 31(1) (Law enforcement) and 43(2) (Commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Leicestershire Police was entitled to apply sections 31(1) and 43(2) to withhold the majority of the information falling within scope of the request. However, he found that none of the cited exemptions are engaged in respect of most of a contract document. The Commissioner requires Leicestershire Police to disclose the contract document, except for the information that the Commissioner has determined is exempt under sections 31(1) and 43(2) of FOIA (listed in a confidential annex to this notice, which is being made available to Leicestershire Police only). Personal data and contact information must also be redacted.
