City of London Police

The complainant requested a copy of a decision report regarding a complaint he believed had been made about a senior officer. City of London Police (‘CoLP’) would neither confirm nor deny (‘NCND’) whether it held the requested information, citing sections 40(5A) and (5B) (Personal information) and 30(3) (Investigations and proceedings) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that CoLP was entitled to apply section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA to issue an NCND response. However, it breached section 17(1) of FOIA by failing to issue a valid refusal notice within the 20 working day time for compliance.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 253453
