Metropolitan Police Service (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50362995 (20 December 2011)
Summary: The complainant asked the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) for a copy of its 1970 investigation file into the Batang Kali massacre which took place in Malaya in December 1948. The MPS refused the request on the basis of the exemptions contained the following sections of Act: 30(1)(a)(i), 30(1)(b), 31(1)(a) and (b), 38(1)(a) and (b) and 40(2) and 44(1)(a). During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the MPS confirmed that the only exemptions it was seeking to rely on were those contained at sections 30(1)(a)(i), 30(1)(b), 40(2) and 41(1). The Commissioner has concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 30(1)(a)(i) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
