The complainant asked for information contained in communications between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the”FCO”) and the Foreign Press Association (the “FPA”) and notes of meetings held between those two organisations. The FCO provided some information but the complainant said that this was not what he had requested. Following an internal review further information was provided and, following discussion between the Commissioner and the FCO, more relevant material was identified which the FCO agreed to send to the complainant. The Commissioner found the FCO to be in breach of section 1(1) of the Act and expressed concern at the delay in dealing with the internal review.
