Agenda item

Members are asked to note the Committee’s Outstanding Actions List.

RESOLVED, that – the outstanding actions of the Committee be received and their contents noted.

The Commissioner of the City of London Police (CoLP) provided an oral update on the arrears in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Since the last update, the backlog of cases was resolved and new cases were received. In April 2019, a new record keeping system for FOIA requests was implemented. 121 cases were awaiting closure. It was reported that FOIA requests were an ongoing risk area for CoLP, particularly due to the difficulty in recruiting and retaining trained staff to manage requests.
