- Decision(s) EIR 5: Upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) seeking a list of correspondence it had exchanged with the Ministry of Defence about the ‘Policy Review and Feasibility Study into the Resettlement of the Chagos Archipelago’. The FCO has failed to respond to this request and has therefore breached section 10(1) of FOIA and, as the request also seeks environmental information, regulation 5(2) of the EIR.
