Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested the case file of a murder investigation from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS refused to provide the requested information citing sections 30(1)(Investigations and proceedings), 31(1)(a)(b) (Law enforcement), 38(1)(a)(b) (Health and safety) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 30, 31 and 38 are not engaged. He finds that section 40 is partially engaged. The Commissioner requires the MPS to disclose the withheld information with the exception of the following: statements of members of the public (this does not include the two statements where the parties have exceeded the age of 100); the names of all parties; private addresses; a Vehicle Registration Mark and some content in the letter at pages 38-39 of the file (this will be provided to the MPS in a confidential annex).

FOI 31: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld FOI 30: Complaint upheld FOI 38: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 215925
