Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) about a certain criminal threshold and why an action taken by a named individual did not meet that threshold. The MPS refused to confirm or deny whether it held information regarding this, citing the exemptions at sections 40(5) (Personal information), 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 40(5) of the FOIA to issue a neither confirm nor deny response. Therefore he did not consider the MPS’ application of section 30(3) of FOIA to the requested information. No steps are required.

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: ic-47322
