Dear Mr/Ms Anasi

Freedom of Information Review Reference No: 2018020000882

Further to our earlier correspondence dated 22/02/2018, I am now able to
provide a response to your complaint concerning Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request reference number: 2018010001094.  

Section 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 states:

'Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a public authority must comply with
section 1(1) promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth
working day following the date of receipt.'
In the circumstances of your request, neither the information requested
nor a refusal notice was provided to you within 20 working days.
Therefore, the MPS have not complied with the requirements of section 10
of the Act.

I have made enquiries about your outstanding request and I have been
advised that unfortunately the Information Manager (IM) with
responsibility for your request is on unforeseen leave. I have chased the
relevant department for the remaining outstanding requested information
and I await their response. I have asked them to deal with the matter
urgently.

As a response to your request is currently outstanding, I am unable to
complete a full internal review in relation to your request. However,
should you be dissatisfied with the MPS response to your request, you may
request an internal review in relation to the decision.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise on behalf of the MPS
for any inconvenience caused by the time taken to respond to your Freedom
of Information Act request. The progress of your request will continue to
be monitored and the issues you have raised have been recorded, enabling
us to provide a more efficient and effective service in the future.

Yours sincerely

Yvette Taylor
Information Manager

Thank you for your email dated 6/4/18.

I apologise on behalf of the MPS for the continued delay in providing you with a response to your request for information.

I have spoken to the Information Manager with responsibility for your request, Audeeba Ali and she has advised me that enquiries are still ongoing with respect to the information you have requested.

I have asked her to escalate this matter to her line manager if she encounters further delays in her attempts to obtain the information you seek.

I will continue to monitor the matter.
