Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information concerning the costs of paying Covert Human Intelligence Sources (‘CHIS’) from the Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’). The MPS would neither confirm nor deny (‘NCND’) whether it held any information citing the exemptions at sections 23(5) (Security matters), 24(2) (National security), 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) and 38(2) (Health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 23(5) or, in the alternative, section 24(2) to refuse confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information. No steps are required.
