Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) information about a case in which a decision was made to take no further action. The MPS refused to disclose the requested information, citing section 30(1)(a)(i) (Investigations and proceedings) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation, the MPS revised its position, adding reliance on sections 40(2) (Personal information), 38(1)(a) (Health and safety), 27(1)(a)(b) (International relations) and 42(1) (Legal professional privilege) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(a)(i) of the FOIA to withhold the information. No steps are required.

FOI 30: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-45989
