National Police Chiefs’ Council

The complainant has requested data about Counter Terrorism (“CT”) arrests from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (the “NPCC”). The NPCC advised that to comply with the request would exceed the cost limit at section 12 (Cost of compliance would exceed appropriate limit) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that section 12 is not engaged. The NPCC is required to disclose data that had previously been agreed in respect of an earlier request that was made to the Metropolitan Police Service.
