An internal enquiry was to a held. Tintagel House. Mike Bennet , The Met Police Rep and Fed Police sols. I was required to resign. An appeal was lodged. My Appeal was held. The Secretary of State, Mr Douglas Hurd, was due attend, because other pressing matters, he appointed a board to sit on is behalf.

Dear Mr. Fairfax-Morris,

Freedom of Information Review Reference No: 2018100000002

Further to our earlier correspondence, I am now able to provide a response
to your complaint concerning your recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request.

This review concentrates on the following request that you submitted to
the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS):

“Over turn Appeal board decision by Douglas Heard in 1986.
Regardless of the History of the offence, for which i was guilt of, I paid
the summary Penalty
Twelve month ban from driving. £100 fine. In 1986 with the support of CID
and uniform officers, my fine was paid. I was then suspended from duty on
full pay, 'gardening leave.' An internal enquiry was to a held. Tintagel
House. Mike Bennet , The Met Police Rep and Fed Police sols. I was
required to resign. An appeal was lodged. My Appeal was held. The
Secretary of State, Mr Douglas Hurd, was due attend, because other
pressing matters, he appointed a board to sit on is behalf. The appeal
board consisted of, Members representing Secretary of State, Chief
constable of Surry. The appeal was heard. My Appeal was upheld. All were
so supportive .All concerned were pleased with the result.
The above was not the outcome. Mr Hurd overturned the appeal board
representing him, they made 'HIS' decision. I was told Not to appeal to
the House of Lords.”

I note that you submitted this same request four (4) times via
whatdotheyknow.com; each of these can be viewed via the following links:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

All four were submitted on 4th August 2018.  It was assumed, as they were
identical and all submitted at the same time, that this was in error.

On 6 September my colleague, R. Loizou, responded to the request with a
refusal in accordance with section 40(5A)&(5B)(a)(i) of the Act.  This
response can be viewed in full via the following link:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

I note you then asked on 25 September, on one of the other versions of the
same request, for us to respond to your request.

However, I am content that in this instance we have responded to you and
fulfilled our statutory obligations.  Furthermore, upon reviewing the
decision made in response to the request, I uphold the application of
section 40(5A)&(5B)(a)(i).

Therefore, in this instance, your complaint is not considered to be upheld
and I will treat this as concluded.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of this Internal Review you have
the right to appeal the decision by contacting the Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO) for a decision on whether the request for
information has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
FOIA.

Commissioner please visit their website at www.ico.org.uk.  Alternatively,
