- Sector Police and criminal justice
- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The complainant has requested a summary of a report from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS refused to provide this, citing the exemptions at section 30(1) (investigations and proceedings) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it disclosed a small amount of information but continued to rely on the exemptions cited for the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 30(1) of the FOIA to withhold the remaining information. No steps are required.
