Historic England

The complainant has requested information on the plaque to Cecil Rhodes on number 6 King Edward Street, Oxford. The Commissioner’s decision is that Historic England correctly considered the request under the EIR. She agrees that the requested information comprises information within the scope of the regulation 12(4)(e) exception – internal communications. However, the Commissioner considers that the public interest favours disclosure. She requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose the document “Advice Report”. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

EIR 12(4)(e): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50783887
