Summary: The complainant submitted 8 requests to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which all focused on two individuals who had been detained in Guantanamo Bay. The FCO provided the complainant with some information in response to these requests but withheld further information on the basis of sections 23(1), 27(1)(a), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 35(1)(a), 35(1)(c) and 42(1) of the Act. The Commissioner is satisfied that these exemptions have been applied correctly with the exception of a limited amount of information which the FCO now accepts is in the public domain. The Commissioner has ordered the FCO to disclose this latter category of information to the complainant. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0049 part allowed.
