Summary: The complainant has requested information about whether any councillor had been subject to a criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police and further detail relating to that. The London Borough of Bexley (the -Council-) refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information within the scope of this request citing section 40(5) (Unfair processing of personal data) as its basis for doing so. It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner-s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on the FOIA provision it has cited. No steps are required.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
