Summary: The complainant asked for details of contact between the public authority and The Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness-™ representatives. The public authority refused to disclose the information requested by the complainant citing sections 37(1)(a), 40(2) and 41(1) of the Act.

The Commissioner has also decided that a list of approaches made by The Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness-™ representatives to the public authority, along with the number of any approaches, is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 41(1).
