Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50422984 (13 December 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) about UK official reactions and assessments in response to a Council of Europe report. The FCO confirmed that it held information within the scope of the request but ultimately advised that it would exceed the cost limit to comply with the request. The complainant asked the Information Commissioner to consider the procedural aspects of the FCO-™s handling of the request. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the FCO breached the requirements of section 17(1)(b) and (c) and section 17(5) in this case. He requires no remedial steps to be taken.
