The complainant has requested information about Metropolitan police officers assisting bailiffs. The Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) initially advised that to comply with the request would exceed the cost limit. During the Commissioner’s investigation this was revised and the MPS advised that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the MPS does not hold the requested information. He does not require the MPS to take any remedial steps to ensure compliance with the FOIA.
FOI 1: Not upheld
