Institution/HIC		London Police Services Board


Summary		The London Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to reports and statements pertaining to a fire which occurred at a particular time and place in the City of London. The Police notified five individuals named in the records of the request and invited them to submit their views regarding disclosure of the records. One individual consented to the disclosure of his statement, and it was provided to the requester. The notices sent to the other four individuals were returned to the Police as either unclaimed or no longer at the address. The Police granted partial access to the records but withheld certain parts pursuant to sections 8(1)(l), 8(2)(a) and 38(b) of the Act . During mediation, the appellant narrowed the number of records sought to four witness statements and the statement of the investigating officer. Further mediation was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Police was sent to the Police and to the appellant. Representations were received from both parties.
