Chief Constable Commissioner for the Metropolis (Metropolitan Police Service)

The complainant has requested from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”) policing costs for Princess Eugenie. The MPS would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding the requested information, citing sections 24(2) (National security), 31(3) (Law enforcement), 38(2) (Health and safety) and 40(5) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 24(2) of FOIA to NCND whether any information is held. No steps are required.
