Foreign and Commonwealth Office
15 November 2017, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) asking it to confirm whether it was funding Risk Advisory Group to help train the Lebanon army, and if so, details about the nature of this contract. The FCO refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information falling within the scope of this request on the basis of section 38(2) (health and safety) and section 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that section 38(2) is engaged and that the public interest favours maintaining this exemption.
FOI 38: Not upheld
