Summary: The complainant has requested diverse and multiple information regarding reported crime at Royal residences over a three-year period. The public authority refused to either confirm or deny it held some of the requested information but where it did confirm it held requested information it said it was exempt from disclosure. Where it refused to either confirm or deny it held requested information MPS relied on sections 40(5), 24(2), 30(3) and 31(3) to do so. Where it confirmed it held requested information it relied on sections 24(1), 30(1)(a)(i)(ii) & (b), 31(1)(a)(b) and 40(2)(a)(b) & (3)(a)(i) not to communicate it to the complainant. The Commissioner-s decision is that the public authority correctly relied upon section 24 (2) neither to confirm nor deny that it held the majority of the requested information. However, as regards one request, the Commissioner-s decision is that the information in question should be disclosed. The Commissioner requires the public authority to convey to the complainant the requested information regarding the total number of alleged criminal offences reported at all of the Royal residences as per the specified period in -request 1-.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 24 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 30 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld
