National Archives

The complainant has requested a closed extract from the parent record: PREM 19/4418/1 – ‘ROYAL FAMILY. Prince Charles’ interest in youth unemployment: The Princes Trust; The Princes Youth Business Trust; part 1’. The National Archives (TNA) withheld the information under sections 37(1)(a), 40(2) and 41(1) of FOIA, which concern communications with the Sovereign, personal data and information provided in confidence, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA incorrectly cited section 37(1)(a). However, TNA is entitled to withhold the information, none of which is environmental information, under section 37(1)(ab) of FOIA. This is because the information comprises communications with a person who has subsequently acceded to the Throne. It is not necessary for TNA to take any corrective steps.

FOI 37: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 214609
