- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The complainant requested information from the Metropolitan Police Service (“MPS”) about the murder of Sandra Rivett and the disappearance of the seventh Lord Lucan. MPS cited the section 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) and section 40(5) (Personal information) FOIA exemptions to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information. The Commissioner decided that MPS had correctly engaged the section 30(3) FOIA exemption and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. No steps are required.
