National Archives
3 June 2014, Central government
The complainant has requested access to information contained in a closed file at The National Archives (TNA). On reviewing the file TNA decided to release one document from it. However it withheld the rest of the information under section 37(1)(a), the exemption relating to communications with the Sovereign. It also applied the exemptions provided by section 40(2) – third party personal data, and section 41 – information provided in confidence. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA were entitled to withhold the information in question under section 37(1)(a). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this matter.
FOI 37: Not upheld
