The request was refused by Metropolitan Police Service (MPS).

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

Within recent correspondence sent to me by Vincent Fisher, Chief Inspector, Police Scotland, he advised, that the Metropolitan Police Service had requested that officers working for Police Scotland, attend my home, without there being any suspicion of a crime being committed, and not having been invited by me to attend my home, to ensure that I was safe and well.

This was on the instructions, at outset, from the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP.

I did not know that the police are now acting, apparently, as mental health support workers or social workers. Granted, I suffer from anxiety and depression after discovering that according to psychologists and psychiatrists that our public institutions, such as our legal system, have many predatory psychopaths working within such. However, I have never made it known to anyone that I require urgent assistance that would merit the police calling on me. This is very strange, to say the least.

Please supply me with the number of times that police officers from your force have attended a private residence, or instructed another police force to undertake such action, on the instructions of a politician, in that the politician was concerned for the mental wellbeing of a member of the public.

Please supply me with this overall figure, if any exists, apart from my own that is, from 1 January 2022 until the present day.

Yours faithfully,

Peter McNab
