The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) seeking a copy of a particular letter dating from 1997 between the British High Commissioner in Wellington and the Cook Islands Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. The FCO explained that it could not locate the requested letter. The complainant argued that it was likely that the document in question would still be held by the FCO. The Commissioner is satisfied that on the balance of probabilities the FCO does not hold the requested letter. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0113 under appeal.
