Dear North Yorkshire Police,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of North Yorkshire Police's handling of my FOI request 'Section 43 Terrorism Act Searches'.
Dear Civil Disclosure Officer,
You REFUSED my Request that NYP confirm the number of searches conducted under section 43 of The Terrorism Act 2000.
You have refused my Request because the number of searches under The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 is readily available publicly.
I have considered the document you referred me to but the searches under PACE do not include searches under the Terrorism Act.
Your refusal is therefore not a legitimate refusal.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s...
Yours faithfully,
Darryl J Lee (Mr.)
Good morning Mr Lee,
Your request has been logged as an internal review into FOI 0545.2020-21. Please accept this email as an acknowledgement. Your request will now be processed by the Civil Disclosure Unit.
