Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service
14 October 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information concerning an alleged police informant from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS would neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information citing the exemptions at sections 40(5) (personal data), 23(5) (information supplied by, or concerning, certain security bodies), 30(3) (criminal investigations and proceedings) and 31(3) (law enforcement); it subsequently withdrew reliance on section 23(5). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 40(5)(a) and (b)(i) and he requires no steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
