Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for copies of any remaining documents in its archive about the coup in Iran in 1953. The FCO refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information falling within the scope of the request on the basis of sections 23(5) (security bodies), 24(2) (national security) and 27(4) (international relations). The Commissioner has concluded that sections 23(5) and 24(2) are engaged. The FCO is therefore entitled to refuse to confirm or deny whether it holds any information falling within the scope of the request.
