23 February 2015, Central government
The complainant requested information from the National Archives (“TNA”) concerning the trial in 1963 of Stephen Ward, a central figure in the Profumo affair. TNA provided some information and withheld the remainder under section 40(2). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, TNA agreed to disclose additional information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA has correctly applied section 40(2) to the information that it has continued to withhold. He does not therefore require it to take any further steps, beyond those already agreed, to ensure compliance with the Act.
FOI 40: Not upheld
