The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for four files dating from 1977 and 1978 concerning litigation about the resettlement of Chagossians from the British Indian Ocean Territory. The FCO withheld the files on the following sections of FOIA: sections 27(1)(a), (c) and (d) (international relations), section 29(1)(b) (the economy) and section 40(2) (personal data). The Commissioner has concluded that only some parts of the requested files are exempt from disclosure on the basis of the exemptions cited by the FCO. The remainder of the files need to be disclosed.
