High risk requests register

Dear Mr. Welsh

Freedom of Information Request Reference No: 2013020000764
I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on 06/02/2013. I note you seek
access to the following information:

"On 8th January 2013, Mr. Derek Baldwin, an American attorney, submitted
an FOI request on this website regarding the questions I was asked about
9/11 at the Central Criminal Court in 1994. (Ref: 2013010000685).

I notice that once again you have failed to comply with the law and
respond to his request within the statutory time limit of 20 working days.

Has Mr Baldwin's request been classified as "High risk" and placed on your
register of "High risk" FOI requests ?

Please send me a copy of the "High risk" register for the month of January
2013. "

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You will receive a response within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to
the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances the MPS may be unable to achieve this
deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
