The complainant submitted a request to the public authority for documents and correspondence relating to the award of honours to British artists Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett and actress Anna Massey, by Her Majesty The Queen. The public authority withheld the information in scope on the basis of the exemptions at sections 37(1)(b) (the conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity), 40(2) (personal data) and 41(1) (information provided in confidence) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to rely on the exemption at section 37(1)(b) to withhold all of the information in scope. No steps are required.
