Decision Summary
- Case Ref: FS50109149
- Date: 26/03/2007
- Public Authority: Foreign and Commonwealth Office
- Summary: The complainant asked for information contained in communications between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the �FCO�) and the Foreign Press Association (the �FPA�) and information relating to the suspension of financial support for the FPA. The FCO delayed in replying to this request for around a year and then said that it held no relevant information. Following further discussion the FCO established that it did hold a small amount of information and agreed to release some of it to the FPA: other information was withheld under section 35(1)(a). The Commissioner found the FCO to be in breach of sections 1, 10 and 17 of the Freedom of Information Act (the�Act�), for which it was strongly criticised. The Commissioner upheld the FCO�s decision to withhold the remaining information under section 35(1)(a). An appeal was made to the Tribunal but later withdrawn.
