Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested budgetary information from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS advised that to comply with the request would exceed the appropriate limit at section 12 of the FOIA. The complainant did not consider that the MPS had provided him with adequate advice and assistance about his request, as required under section 16 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS complied with its duty under section 16 of the FOIA. No steps are required.
