Request

CAS-237159: May I narrow my request to correspondence between TNA and the ACNRA for 2020 [relating to the Duke of York].

Note: This request was received in response to the refusal of FOI request CAS-232962 under section 12 of the FOI Act.

CAS-237322: I’m requesting internal guidance/correspondence relating to the handling, access, retention, reclosure or takedown of records relating to the Duke of York between for 2021, as well as external communications with the the Cabinet Office relating to the Duke of York’s activities on behalf of UKTI.

CAS-237746: I’m seeking internal guidance / correspondence etc relating to the handling, access, retention, reclosure or takedown of records relating to the Duke of York for 2020, including any external communications with the Royal Household relating to the Duke of York’s activities on behalf of UKTI.

Outcome

Information not held.

Response

I can confirm that The National Archives does not hold this information. No information has been identified that that meets the criteria of your requests.

Thank you for you narrowing your original request (CAS-232962). This has allowed TNA to conduct targeted searches within the cost limit. Please note that the refusal of your original request under the cost limit was not made on the basis that there was too much relevant information to search through, but rather that the cost limit would be engaged for determining whether TNA holds the information, and additionally, the cost of locating, retrieving and extracting any relevant information, if held.
