Surrey Police

The complainant has requested an audio recording of an interview which Surrey Police (the Police) conducted with Jimmy Saville. The Police refused to disclose the requested information under section 14(1)(vexatious requests) and section 38(1)(health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Police correctly relied on section 14(1) to refuse the request. However, the Police breached section 17 as it failed to provide its refusal notice within the statutory 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Police to take any further steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 14(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 206207
