The National Archives (TNA) withheld the information on the basis of the exemptions at sections 37(1)(a) and (b), 27(1), 40(2) and 41(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that TNA was entitled to withhold the information on the basis of the exemption at section 37(1)(a) – communications with or on behalf of the Sovereign. The Commissioner also finds that TNA breached section 10 of FOIA.
