The complainant requested copies of correspondence between the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and the Home Secretary between 1 June 2020 and 31 July 2020. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) had failed to provide a substantive response by the date of this notice. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the MPS to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Issue a substantive response, in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA, to the request. The MPS must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 10: Complaint upheld
