1.-3. The information requested is exempt under Section 34(1)b - Offences and criminal proceedings and under Section 35(1)a - development of government policy. Whilst it may be in the public interest to publish the information requested, at this time this might impact on active investigations. The public interest in maintaining the exemption therefore outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
