Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The complainant has requested copies of any correspondence and communications to the Foreign Secretary from the Duke and Duchess of York concerning the late Jeffrey Epstein or his business and charitable organisations made between the period 1 January 2000 and 1 January 2001. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (the Foreign Office) refused to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information and cited sections 37(2) and 40(5) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Foreign Office is entitled to rely on section 40(5B) of the FOIA to neither confirm nor deny whether it holds information falling within the scope of the request.
