Chief Constable Commissioner for the Metropolis (Metropolitan Police Service)

The complainant has requested information about a particular incident from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS advised that some information was reasonably accessible to the complainant, citing section 21(1) (Information accessible to complainant by other means) and would neither confirm nor deny (NCND) holding the remainder, citing section 40(5A) (Personal information) of FOIA. 
The Commissioner’s decision is that section 21(1) was properly applied. He also finds that the MPS was entitled, by virtue of section 40(5A) of FOIA, to NCND holding the remaining requested information. No steps are required.
