The complainant has requested information about services it has provided overseas from City of London Police (COLP). COLP disclosed some of the requested information but, after revising its position, withheld the remainder under the exemptions at sections 23(1) (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters) and 24(1) (National security). The Commissioner’s decision is that both exemptions are only partly engaged. She requires COLP to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the parties withheld under section 23(1) in rows (1), (2), (3), (6) and (7) of the table provided which do not refer to any section 23(3) body; disclose the country at row (3) which does not engage section 24(1); and, disclose details of the services offered at rows (6) and (7) of the table as the public interest favours disclosure.
