Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) seeking information about discussions between FCO staff in France and the French authorities on the issuing Cartes de Sejour to British nationals residing in France. The FCO provided some information in response to the request but sought to withhold further information on the basis of the exemptions contained at sections 27(1)(a) (international relations), 35(1)(a) (formulation and development of government policy) and 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the FCO disclosed a small portion of information which it had previously sought to withhold. However, it continued to withhold further information on the basis of the above exemptions.

FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld FOI 27: Complaint partly upheld
