Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The complainant requested from the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (“FCDO”) copies of its annual reviews of the United States, from 2000-2005. The FCDO stated that it did not hold an annual review for 2001 and refused to disclose the remaining annual reviews, citing section 27 of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the FCDO has correctly relied on section 27 of FOIA. The Commissioner has also decided that the FCDO has breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it did not provide a response to the complainant within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require any steps.

FOI 27: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 221768
