ICO The complainant requested extracts withheld from a file containing information relating to communications between the then Prime Minister and Jimmy Savile concerning tax deductions for charitable donations following his fund raising for Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The National Archives (TNA) withheld this information under the exemption provided by section 40(2) (personal information of third parties) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) was cited correctly and so TNA was not required to disclose this information.
