Metropolitan Police Service
27 April 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information about whether the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) has begun to determine if Tony Blair has committed the common law criminal offence of misconduct in public office over decisions he took which resulted in the military invasion of Iraq in 2003. The MPS would neither confirm nor deny holding any information citing the exemptions at sections 30(3) (investigations and proceedings) and 40(5)(b)(i) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on 40(5)(b)(i) to neither confirm nor deny whether any information is held; she did not therefore consider section 30(3). No steps are required.
FOI 40: Not upheld
