National Portrait Gallery

The complainant has requested a digital scan or copy of the glass plate negative of Amelia Julie Sargant. The National Portrait Gallery (‘the Gallery’) advised it didn’t hold a digital copy of the negative and that the negative in question was in storage. The Gallery subsequently confirmed to the Commissioner that it doesn’t consider it holds the requested information under FOIA. But to the extent that the information is held, section 12 of FOIA would apply due to the costs involved in providing a digital scan. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Gallery doesn’t hold the information under FOIA. It’s not necessary for the Gallery to take any corrective steps.

FOI 1: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 257200
