- Decision(s) FOI 40: Upheld
The complainant requested access to information which had been withheld from a murder file under section 40(2) – personal data. He provided evidence that some of the people he believed this information related to were now no longer living. The Commissioner’s decision is that The National Archives (TNA) correctly disclosed information in light of the evidence provided by the complainant. However the Commissioner finds that there is additional information that should be released. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information identified in the confidential annex to this notice which has been provided exclusively to TNA. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice.
