Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested specific information about the Great Train Robbery from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS advised that to comply with the request would exceed the appropriate limit at section 12 (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it clarified that it was relying on section 12(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information in accordance with section 12(2) of the FOIA. She also finds that it complied with its section 16 obligations to provide advice and assistance.

FOI 12: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50886023
