The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for information described as ‘Annual reports, diplomatic reports; leading personalities’ concerning Saudi Arabia. The FCO provided the complainant with some of the information falling within the scope of her request and explained that other documents falling within the scope could be viewed at The National Archives. However, the FCO sought to withhold the remaining information on the basis of the following sections of FOIA: 27(1)(a) and (c) (international relations), 40(2) (personal data) and 41 (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner is satisfied that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of exemptions cited by the FCO.
