The Metropolitan Police has refused to release details of its decision not to investigate allegations of political corruption.
A ‘cash for peerages’ investigation by openDemocracy and The Sunday Times in November revealed a pattern of high-value Tory donors securing seats in the House of Lords. Opposition MPs urged Met commissioner Cressida Dick to investigate, but the force refused, saying there was “insufficient information”.
Now the Met is also refusing to release any information about how it came to that conclusion – including copies of internal emails and whom it consulted.
