Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50472811 (03 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested the names of all individuals within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) who were involved in the drafting of the aide memoire shared with the Government of Ecuador concerning the asylum claim of Julian Assange. The FCO refused to disclose this information and cited the exemptions provided by sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) (inhibition to the free and frank provision of advice and exchange of views) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that these exemptions were applied correctly and so the FCO is not required to disclose this information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
