Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police

The complainant made a request for information relating to cases referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), outsourcing operational activities and the employees at Greater Manchester Police (GMP). GMP refused to provide the requested information saying that to do so would exceed the appropriate limit at section 12(1) (cost of compliance) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in respect of requests one, two and three GMP was entitled to aggregate these requests and rely on section 12(1). The Commissioner does not agree that requests four to eight can be aggregated with the rest. The Commissioner also finds that GMP did not comply with its section 16(1) obligation to offer advice and assistance.

FOI 12(1): Complaint not upheld FOI 16(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 269722
