The complainant submitted requests to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) seeking two files concerning Guy Burgess. The FCO sought to withhold the requested files on the basis of section 23(1) (security bodies) or, in the alternative, section 24(1) (national security) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the files are exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 23(1) or section 24(1) of FOIA.
