Merseyside Police

The complainant has requested any information held about a deceased celebrity from Merseyside Police. Merseyside Police disclosed some information with redactions under sections 40(2) (personal information) and also advised that some information was already available in the public domain, citing section 21(1) (information accessible to applicant by other means); the complainant did not dispute the citing of either of these. It also cited section 30 (investigations and proceedings). During the Commissioner’s investigation, Merseyside Police revised its position advising that it would neither confirm or deny (“NCND”) holding any further information relying on sections 30(3) (investigations and proceedings) and 38(2) (health and safety) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Merseyside Police was entitled to rely on section 30(3) to NCND whether any further information is held. No steps are required.
