The complainant has requested 10 files which relate to the European Exchange Rate Mechanism from HM Treasury (“HMT”). HMT refused to disclose the requested information on the basis that it was vexatious under section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMT was not entitled to rely on section 14(1) when refusing to provide the requested information. He requires HMT to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the requested information or issue an appropriate refusal notice which does not rely on section 14(1).
