Response
The Scottish Police Authority has considered your request for review under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA).
The decision has been reviewed by an independent reviewer who was not involved in the original decision-making process.
I can confirm that your request for review has been upheld. The decision maker did not believe that, on the balance of probability, the information is exempt data.
The redacted paragraph is replicated in full below.
5.1.1 Statements to chairs – this has been a particular area of contention over the last 10 years since the introduction of the current conduct regulations. Initial advice has been received, however further clarification is being sought.
The revised document is also provided with the redaction removed.
