Privy Council Office

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) did not conduct a reasonable search for records concerning the creation of the Intelligence Coordinator position between September 1984 and February 1985. The OIC found that PCO failed to provide sufficient evidence of a reasonable search, and PCO later located 187 additional responsive pages after further searches. The Information Commissioner ordered PCO to provide a supplementary response by December 10, 2024, which PCO agreed to implement.
