The complainant has requested information connected to what he has called ‘Operation Foreigner’. City of London Police (‘COLP’) would initially neither confirm nor deny holding information, citing the exemptions at sections 23(5)(information relating to security bodies), 24(2)(national security), 30(3) (investigations and proceedings) and 31(3)(law enforcement). When asking for an internal review the complainant provided further details and COLP thereafter changed its position to neither confirm nor deny holding any information citing section 40(5)(personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(5) is engaged and no steps are required.
