National Archives
The complainant has requested information about a closed file. The National Archives (TNA) refused to disclose the information citing the exemptions in section 41(1) - information provided in confidence- and section 40(2) - personal information of the FOIA. 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 Accountant Tax Supplement’ dated 3 June 1933. 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 41: Complaint partly upheld
