Our integration

Attachment inaccessible, password not supplied. South Wales Police sent its internal review response 1188/26 (a review of FOI 719/26) as a password-protected PDF. Only a blank password was tried, which is what opening it normally would do. It was not opened by any other means.

Why it matters: 719/26 had a "no records held" answer, and 1188/26 is the force's second look at it. Until the password arrives, what the review decided is unknown. The covering email gives no outcome.

What cuts against the case: forces often send redacted PDFs with the password in a separate email. A missing password is more likely an admin gap than a refusal. The review was sent on the day it was due.

Next dated step: the password request is drafted; the review response stays unread until it arrives. See What They Don't Say for the thread.
