Mr Williams
Thank you for your email.
In accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), I am writing to advise you that Essex Police is currently considering the public interest in the release of information relevant to your request.
The FOI Act obliges us to respond to requests promptly and in any case no later than 20 working days after receiving your request. We must consider firstly whether we can comply with section1(1) (a) of the Act, which is our duty to confirm whether or not the information requested is held and secondly we must comply with section 1(1)(b), which is the provision of such information. However, when a qualified exemption applies either to the confirmation or denial or the information provision and the public interest test is engaged, the Act allows the time for response to be longer than 20 working days, if the balance of such public interest is undetermined.
In this case we have not yet reached a decision on where the balance of the public interest lies in respect of either of the above obligations. We estimate that it will take an additional 20 days to take a decision on where the balance lies. Therefore, we plan to let you have a response by the 18th November 2009. If it appears that it will take longer than this to reach a conclusion, you will be kept informed.
The specific exemption which applies in relation to your request is s31 Law Enforcement.
I will be in touch again as soon as I can.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original request and should be addressed to Information Management at the above address.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
