The Freedom of Information Act requires that this request is dealt with in a manner that is motive and applicant blind. A disclosure under this legislation is considered a disclosure to the world and is considered to be on the basis that it is in the public interest.

This response is unique to Humberside Police and you are advised not to compare this like for like with any other force’s response you receive.

 

Response

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties on public authorities. Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section 1(1)(a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is held. The second duty at Section 1(1)(b) is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held. Where exemptions are relied upon Section 17 of FOIA requires that we provide the applicant with a notice which: a) states that fact b) specifies the exemption(s) in question and c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.

Disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act is deemed to be released to the public at large. Therefore, no information if deemed would identify a living individual would be released. Therefore section 40(2) of the Act is engaged. As section 40(2) is an absolute exemption there is no requirement for me to conduct a public interest test. I am satisfied that disclosure would breach the 1st principle of the Data Protection Act – fair and lawful processing.

However, following review of your request and by way of offering advice and assistance, under Section 16 of the Act, you may wish to contact the Central Ticket Office who may be able to answer your query. You can contact them via the following:
