National Archives (Decision Notice): ICO 4 Oct 2012

The complainant requested a copy of a file held by the public authority; other related queries were answered. The file was initially withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA. During the Information Commissioner’s investigation the public authority released more of the file, the remaining redactions again being withheld under section 40(2). The Information Commissioner finds that, where cited, section 40(2) is engaged and that disclosure of the information would breach the Data Protection Act 1998. Although it has agreed to disclose further information the public authority has not yet made this available. Therefore, the Information Commissioner formally requires it to disclose the information, as agreed, and advise the complainant when it is available
