The complainant has requested statistics about arrests for threats to kill the Mayor of London. The Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’) would neither confirm nor deny holding any information by virtue of sections 40(5) (personal information) and 30(3) (investigations and proceedings). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(5) is engaged and he has not therefore found it necessary to consider section 30(3). No steps are required.
FOI 40: Not upheld
