Summary: The complainant requested files that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) were due to make available at The National Archives (TNA) shortly following the date of the request. The FCO refused the request and stated that there would be a delay in transferring the requested information to TNA, but that this information would be made available at TNA after this delay. It cited the exemption provided by section 22 (information intended for future publication) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the FCO cited the exemption provided by section 22 incorrectly in that the public interest in the maintenance of this exemption did not outweigh the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information withheld under section 22 of the FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 22 - Complaint Upheld
