Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information about collaboration with a social media provider from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS disclosed some information but would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding further information, citing section 31(3) (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 31(3) is not engaged. Furthermore, in failing to respond to the request within the statutory time limit, she finds that the MPS breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the MPS to issue a fresh response, which must confirm or deny whether the information is held, and either disclose the requested information or issue a valid refusal notice compliant with section 17 of the FOIA.

FOI 31: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
