Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) information about an alleged investigation. Having initially advised the complainant that his request was vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA, the MPS revised its position and would neither confirm nor deny holding any information, citing sections 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) and 40(5) (Personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 40(5) to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information. No steps are required.

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-46597
