  • Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld

The complainant has requested figures connected to monthly numbers of arrests of people suspected of helping to support or plot with the Islamic State over the last two years. The Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’) advised that to comply with the request would exceed the appropriate limit at section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that this has been properly relied on and no steps are required.
