Foreign and Commonwealth Office
15 November 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for information about the visits of delegations from foreign nations who were either guests of the UK Government or on a State visit. The FCO provided the requested information with the exception of the names of the hotels used by each of the delegations which was withheld on the basis of sections 24(1) (national security) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 24(1) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
FOI 24: Not upheld
