Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FS50517319 (26 March 2014)
Summary: The complainant has requested the contents of seven specific files relating to Libya. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office applied the -neither confirm nor deny- exemptions in sections 23 (information relating to bodies dealing with security matters) and 24 (national security), and sections 27 (international relations), 38 (health and safety), 40 (personal information), 41 (information provided in confidence) and 43 (commercial interests). The Commissioner-s decision is that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office took an unacceptable length of time to consider the public interest and answer the request in full, and that it therefore has not complied with sections 10 and 17 of FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
