Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50479094 (05 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested Tony Blair-™s communications with the British Embassy in Tripoli and the Foreign Office from June 2007 to the date of the request. The public authority advised that it held information but found that it was exempt from disclosure by virtue of the exemption in section 27(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the exemption is only engaged in respect of some of the information, having been applied in a -˜blanket fashion-™. He therefore determines that some of the information should be disclosed. He further notes the considerable time delays in dealing with the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority disclose the information indicated in the confidential annex provided with this decision notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 27 - Complaint Partly Upheld
