The National Archives
The complainant has requested information relating to the closed files listed as BS 28/83 and BS 28/45 held by The National Archives. During the Commissioner’s investigation The National Archives (TNA) reassessed the information in one of the files (BS 28/83, the transcript index) and decided to disclose the names of individuals known to be deceased. To date this has not happened. The Commissioner’s decision is that The National Archives (TNA) has correctly applied sections 40 and 41(1) to the remaining withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: the Commissioner requires the public authority to now disclose the names of the individuals known to be deceased in file BS 28/83. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld
