Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for a copy of the document ‘Public order capability and capacity assessment of Sri Lanka Police Service’ which reported the findings of an assessment Police Scotland undertook in 2015. The FCO sought to withhold the document on the basis of sections 27(1)(a), (c) and (d), 27(2) (international relations) and 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 27(1)(a), (c) and (d) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining these exemptions.
