Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested, from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”), communications between its Commissioner and the Home Secretary over a three month period. The MPS disclosed some information but withheld the remainder, citing sections 21(1) (Information reasonably accessible by other means), 23(1) (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters), 24(1) (National security), 30(1)(a) (Investigations and proceedings), 31(1)(a)(b) (Law enforcement), 36(2)(b)(i)(ii) & (c) (Prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on sections 36(2)(b)(i)(ii) to withhold the remaining information. No steps are required.
