Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50421724 (23 April 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information about the UK-™s official reactions to a report alleging serious crimes, including organ trafficking. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) provided him with some information but withheld the remainder, citing the exemptions relating to international relations, law enforcement, formulation of government policy and effective conduct of public affairs. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the FCO correctly withheld the majority of the information. However, he does not find the exemption engaged with respect to some of the withheld text and orders disclosure of that information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information identified in the confidential annex to this decision notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 27 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
