- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the closed file MEPO 3/341. The National Archives (TNA) has withheld the information under section 40(2) of the FOIA because it says it is the personal data of a third person. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of the FOIA as it is the special category personal data of a third person and disclosure would be unlawful. The Commissioner does not require TNA to take any remedial steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2021/0107 allowed in part.
