Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information about Robin Cook from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS would neither confirm nor deny whether the information was held, citing sections 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) and 38(2) (Health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 30 is engaged but that the public interest favours confirmation or denial. He finds that section 38 is not engaged. The Commissioner requires the MPS to confirm or deny whether any information is held and, if held, either provide that information or issue a valid refusal notice.

FOI 30: Complaint upheld FOI 38: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 143633
