Summary: The complainant requested information relating to correspondence about Royal Mail-™s refusal to use a particular theme for an issue of stamps relating to the British soldiers killed in Iraq. Royal Mail refused to disclose the information and relied on the exemptions at section 36(2)(b)(i) and 36(2)(b)(ii). The Commissioner found that Royal Mail was correct in the application of the exemptions but that the public interest test favoured disclosure of some of the information. Therefore the Commissioner directs Royal Mail to disclose this part of the withheld information to the complainant. The Commissioner also recorded breaches of sections 1(1)(b) and 10(1) of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Partly Upheld
