The complainant has requested the documents contained within a specific archived file. The National Archives withheld the requested information as it claimed that the information was the personal data of a third party and that disclosure would contravene the General Data Protection Regulation principles. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA has correctly applied section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
