Chief Constable Commissioner for the Metropolis (Metropolitan Police Service)

The complainant has requested costing information about an appeal from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS advised that some information was not held and it refused to provide the remainder citing sections 40(2) (Personal information) and 43(2) (Commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS does not hold some of the requested information. He also finds that, in respect of what is held, that section 40(2) is properly engaged. No steps are required.
