National Archives
25 April 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the 1955 minutes concerning the disappearance of the late Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean in the file listed as FCO 158/228/1 Closed extracts. The National Archives (TNA) refused to provide the requested information citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA has correctly applied sections 40(2) of FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
FOI 40: Not upheld
