British Transport Police
9 October 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested a copy of a report about allegations that during the 1970s a serial killer was responsible for the deaths of several people on the London Underground. British Transport Police (BTP) refused the request on the grounds that the information it held was exempt from disclosure under sections 30(1) and 30(2) (investigations and proceedings), and section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that BTP was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(a) to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires no steps.
FOI 30: Not upheld
