The complainant requested information on the book ‘Inside Intelligence’ by Anthony Cavendish contained in a specific file he identified in The National Archives catalogue. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office has appropriately relied on the exemption at section 23(1) – Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters, to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
