Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office FCDO (previously FCO)

The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) about a ‘certificate of honour’ awarded to his father in 1955 in Somalia, including a replacement certificate and any related documentation. The FCDO explained that it did not hold any information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities the FCDO does not hold information falling within the scope of the request.
