Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested any information held about the British Spartacist League from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding the requested information, citing the exemptions at sections 23(5) (information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters), 24(2) (national security), 30(3) (investigations and proceedings) and 31(3) (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to rely on section 23(5) to NCND whether or not it holds the requested information. No steps are required.

FOI 23: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50851966
