17 February 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (‘the FCO’) in papers listed in the inventory on the FCO website, referenced as ‘Transparency data’. The FCO confirmed that it holds information relevant to the requests. It has repeatedly advised the complainant that it requires further time to consider the public interest test. To date, the FCO has failed to provide the complainant with a substantive response. By failing to do so the Commissioner has concluded that the FCO breached provide the complainant with a substantive response to her information requests. If the FCO decides to withhold any information then the complainant should be provided with a refusal notice giving a full explanation as to why the information will not be disclosed, including details of any public interest test considerations.
