The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) seeking four documents provided to it by the World Health Organisation concerning the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The FCDO withheld the information on the basis of sections 27(1)(a) to (d), section 27(2) (international relations) and section 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 27(2) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the request the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
