Chief Constable Commissioner for the Metropolis (Metropolitan Police Service)

The complainant has requested information concerning the outcome of a non-FOIA complaint he made from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS initially found the request to be vexatious, citing section 14(1) (Vexatious requests) of FOIA. It subsequently refused to confirm or deny holding the information citing section 40(5A) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(5A) is properly engaged. No steps are required.
