National Archives

The complainant has requested information about a closed file. The National Archives (TNA) refused to disclose the information citing the exemption in section 41(1) of the FOIA - information provided in confidence. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that TNA has correctly applied section 41(1) to the majority of the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: to disclose the final 2 pages of the file IR40/4329: the Financial News article dated 11 April 1924 and the Parliamentary Question from Hansard (10 April 1924).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.
