Summary: The complainant has requested information about the type of drugs confiscated by Hampshire Constabulary (the -Constabulary-) at the 2012 Bestival festival and the 2012 Isle of Wight festival and their street value. The Constabulary refused to provide this information citing section 12 (Exceed costs limit) as a basis for doing so. It provided some information within the scope of the requests after internal review but refused to provide the remainder, reiterating reliance on section 12. The complainant also raised concerns about the Constabulary-s compliance with section 16 (Duty to advise and assist). The Commissioner-s decision is that the Constabulary is entitled to rely on section 12 as a basis for withholding the remainder of the requested information. He has also decided that the Constabulary satisfied its obligations under section 16. No steps are required.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Not upheld
