British Museum

The complainant has requested the British Museum (the museum) to disclose information relating to the membership of its Chair Advisory Group (CAG). The museum disclosed some information but withheld the remainder citing section 40 and 43 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the museum is entitled to rely on section 40 of FOIA for the information it has withheld under this exemption. However, in terms of section 43, the Commissioner has decided that this exemption is not engaged. He has also found the museum in breach of section 10 of FOIA, as it failed to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires the museum to disclose the information withheld under section 43 of FOIA to the complainant.
