Freedom of Information Act question: IS Dr JUILIAN TOTMAN, 'TANNERMAN', the man allegedly seen by Jane Tanner, friend of the McCanns?

Just to let you all know that on Tuesday last week (8 May) I asked a further supplementary Freedom of Information Act request of the Met Police on the subject of Operation Grange, the efits, Smithman, and now Tannerman.

I received an acknowledgement on Friday (11 May). The details are below.

You can check back on the history of this particular FOI Act request in the link at the end:

====================================================


Dear Mr Bennett

Freedom of Information Request Reference No: 2018050000336

I write in connection with your request for information which was received by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on 08/05/2018.

I note you seek access to the following information:

QUOTE LETTER

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

In view of the claim by Dr Julian Totman, who in 2007 was working at the government's biological, chemical and nuclear weapons research establishment at Porton Down, Wiltshire, that HE and NOT the man identified by DCI Redwood on BBC CrimeWatch in 2013 was the man allegedly seen by Jane Tanner at 9.15pm the night Madeleine McCann was reported missing, it becomes still more important that the Met Police gives the public open, transparent and FULL answers to all reasonable questions about alleged abductors and suspects.

I have one more question please. Does Operation Grange now agree that Dr Julian Totman was the man seen by Jane Tanner?

UNQUOTE

If you click on the link you find

PART THREE
i) Does Operation Grange now agree that Dr Julian Totman was the man seen
by Jane Tenner?
Operation Grange is a live investigation, we do not comment on
identification as this information is held for the purpose of the
investigation and therefore falls within the section 30 exemption.
Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please
contact me on 0207 161 3583 or via email at [email address],
quoting the reference number above.

Maybe that's why they are keeping it "live".

Thanks Peter.

You may be right. With Kelly and Hamilton Blair had to seal the records for 100 years.
It is not clear on what grounds this could be embargoed.
