The complainant submitted a request to the public authority for information in relation to flight and immigration records for the Island of Diego Garcia which had been subjected to some water damage. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to withhold information within the scope of the relevant part of the request (the disputed information) on the basis of the exemptions at sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) FOIA. The Commissioner however finds the public authority in breach of section 10(1) FOIA for failing to respond to the request within 20 working days. No steps are required.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 36: Not upheld
