National Archives
30 November 2017, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the National Archives (TNA) for a copy of a file relating to the Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. TNA refused the request under the exemption in section 27(1) (International Relations). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 27(1) and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner also found that TNA breached section 17(3) in its handling of the complainant’s request and 3 other requests but she requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 17: Upheld FOI 27: Not upheld
