Foreign and Commonwealth Office
24 July 2014, Central government
The complainant has requested correspondence between Tony Blair and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (“FCO”) between June 2009 and July 2012 in relation to Russia. The FCO refused to provide this citing section 27 (international relations); section 40 (unfair disclosure of personal data); and section 41 (information provided in confidence) as its basis for doing so. After internal review it disclosed some information but withheld the remainder restating reliance on the above exemptions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the FCO is entitled to rely on section 41 as a basis for withholding the remainder of the requested information. No steps are required.
FOI 41: Not upheld
