HM Treasury
26 September 2017, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to HM Treasury (HMT) for a copy of a file concerning information about the British Indian Ocean Territory, specifically compensation claims by members of the Ilois community living in Mauritius. HMT provided the complainant with some of the information contained within the file but withheld the remainder on the following sections of FOIA: sections 27(1)(a) and (b) (international relations), section 29(1)(b) (the economy) and section 40(2) (personal data). The Commissioner has concluded that these exemptions only apply to some of the withheld information and the remaining information needs to be disclosed.
FOI 27: Partly upheld FOI 40: Partly upheld FOI 29: Not upheld
