No further information is known.
FOI Made 30 May 2025 Refused 30 May 2025 on account that it would exceed their threshold. THey do admit to holding 27 boxes on his case but cant say where he was killed. [Your request amounts to at least 14 questions for information regarding the murder of Terrance Gibson in 2000. The MPS hold at least 27 boxes regarding this case and it would take at least one hour to review each box to ascertain the full answer to the 14 specific questions you have posed. Extracting, collating and retrieving the full answer to your questions is a task that would exceed the 18 hour cost limit which the MPS is not required to exceed to comply with a FOIA request. The MPS fairly estimate it would therefore exceed 27 hours to comply with your request in full. We therefore estimate that the cost of complying with this request would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit has been specified in regulations and for agencies outside central Government; this is set at £450.00. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours [at a rate of £25 per hour] in determining whether the MPS holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information. ] - Second shorter request made 2 August 2025. Bunch of twats = To identify and collate this information would exceed the cost/research threshold set out by the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Act Fees Regulations 2004. In this regard, I estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit. For agencies outside of central Government, the cost threshold is set at £450 and represents the estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours [at a rate of £25 per hour] determining whether the public authority holds the information. This also includes locating, retrieving and extracting the information requested. This document constitutes a formal Refusal Notice for this request. A full explanation, including the relevant sections of the Act and the Fees Regulations, is given in the section titled 'Legal Annex' below. Please also note that when one part of a request is refused because the cost of completing that part of the request would exceed the appropriate limit, this results in the refusal of the request in its entirety. This approach is in line with the guidance of the Information Commissioner (the Freedom of Information ombudsman).
