Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50457399 (16 October 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Middle East receiving UK Government funding and the value of that funding. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) refused the information citing section 38 of FOIA (health and safety). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the exemption is not engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose to the complainant the number of NGOs excluded from the table of information previously provided to the complainant by the FCO, and the total funding attributable to those NGOs.
