The Advisory Council on National Records and Archives
The complainant has requested information relating to the papers relating to Lord Denning’s Profumo Report which were being transferred to The National Archives. Specifically the complainant asked for all records of discussions from 1 January 2014 relating to whether such papers should be made public and when. The Advisory Council on National Records and Archives (the advisory council) disclosed some information to the complainant at the internal review stage but refused to disclose the remainder citing sections 23, 27 and 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and 36(2)(c) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the advisory council is entitled to withhold the remaining withheld information under section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and that the public interest rests in maintaining this exemption. She has however found the advisory council in breach of section 10 of the FOIA in this case.
