18.  LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONER FROM ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER JANET WILLIAMS, QPM, RECEIVED 4 JUNE 2009

Thank you for your letter dated 7th May 2009.

I think that I made clear our position in my letter of 30th April 2009 that the main concern that we have relates to Data Protection. I have considered the contents of your letter and I believe that it is a matter between you and the Home Secretary as to whether she relinquishes her right to privacy and whether you seek her express consent for the MPS to release the data you have requested.

Again, before replying we have consulted with West Mercia police who share our views.

Data supplied in a summarised format would not compromise our current position on the security of protected persons.

Received 4 June 2009
