Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service
19 August 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information about the late Cyril Smith from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS confirmed it was currently undertaking a related investigation but would neither confirm nor deny anything further citing sections 23(5) (information supplied by or concerning security bodies), 30(3) (criminal investigations), 31(3) (law enforcement) and 40(5) (personal information). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on those exemptions and he requires no steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
