Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service
5 February 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested a file from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) which is referenced on The National Archives (“TNA”) website. The MPS confirmed it holds the file but initially withheld it under section 22 (intended for future publication) of the FOIA. It subsequently disclosed some information but cited sections 23(1) (information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters) and, in the alternative, 24(1) (national security), 31(1) (law enforcement) and 40(2) (personal data) to withhold the remaining information. During the Commissioner’s investigation it removed reliance on sections 24(1) and 31(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 23(1). He does not require any steps.
FOI 23: Not upheld
