The complainant requested from the Welsh Office copies of correspondence between Peter Hain (the former Welsh Secretary) and the Prince of Wales about complementary health/complementary medicine during the period of 24 October 2002 to 24 October 2003. The Welsh Office refused to confirm or deny whether the information requested was held citing section 12(2) (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Welsh Office correctly applied section 12(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
