Dear Mr McCabe,

Following receipt of your request searches were conducted within Merseyside
Police to locate information relevant to your request. I can confirm that
some of the information that you requested is held by Merseyside Police.

Extent of searches to locate information.

To locate the information relevant to your request, searches were conducted
in Force Custody & in the Information Bureau.

Result of searches.

The searches located a number of records relevant to your request.

Decision.

I have today decided to:

Fully exempt information related to your requests numbered 1 - 7 pursuant
to the provisions of Section 12 Time/Cost of the Freedom of Information Act
2000;
The information requested in Questions 8, 9 & 10 is not held.

Section 17, Freedom of Information Act, 2000, requires Merseyside Police,
when refusing to provide such information (because the information is
exempt) to provide you 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.

The information requested in Questions 1 - 7 is exempt per Section 12 of
the Freedom Of Information Act as,due to the presence of a Section 12
exemption for Questions 4 & 5, the force is not obliged to respond to these
questions until the whole request has been refined to be within the cost
limit (as per I.C.O. guidance). Following refinement further exemptions may
apply, specifically the exemption Section 40 (Personal Information) may
apply to Questions 1, 1i & 2.
