Lincolnshire Police & G4S: freedom of information inquiry

A few weeks ago, I requested a copy of the Risk Register associated with the programme of work that Lincs Police and G4S are now working on together. Today I received their response back. They have refused on two public interest tests:

• Section 31 – Law Enforcement – this is a qualified, class based exemption – therefore PIT applied 
• Section 43 – Commercial Interests - this is a qualified, class based exemption – therefore PIT applied

Needless to say, I am appealing against this decision.

Here is a link to the their reply with my annotations - and the email I have sent them making the appeal. Click here for the Google doc. Their reply gives some most interesting insight into the assumptions embedded in private sector partnerships...
