Our response:
MOPAC does hold information in scope of this request.
We can confirm that Merton Council and Merton Conservative party made submissions to the Police and Crime Plan consultation.
However, we are unable to provide this information as it has been exempted under Section 41 of the FOI Act for information provided in confidence. This is because these submissions have been obtained in confidence from organisations outside of MOPAC. While we acknowledge and have considered the public interest in knowing the policing priorities of public authorities, any release of this information may be viewed as breach of the confidence in which the information was supplied in and could result in a successful legal challenge.
As Merton Council are a public authority, you may be able to request this information from them directly. You can do this by visiting Make a Freedom of Information request | Merton Council.
We have attached a document with two lists. The first list is made up of organisations and politicians who provided written responses. Some submissions were made anonymously, so we are not able to provide those details. The second list is from in person or online consultation events. These were attended by community members affiliated with the title of the workshop. MOPAC did not note names, to protect the integrity/ anonymity of individuals. Therefore, MOPAC does not hold this information.
