This request for information relates to police station closures in the Metropolitan Police areas.

I am requesting the following information:

- A list of all the police stations closed in the Metropolitan Police areas from 01 January 2010 to this date with information clarifying which of those stations are still managed by the Metropolitan Police and which of them were sold, donated, or given to another institution, company, corporation, charity or organization and the names of the beneficiaries/buyers if that is the case. Please, if they were sold, I would like to know the price agreed upon in every case.

- A list with a detailed breakdown of the annual costs of keeping each of the closed police stations of the Metropolitan Police areas.
