annex A 
4.1 The exemptions in section 27 can be used to justify why information is being withheld. Section 27 may also be used to neither confirm nor deny that information is held, where to so confirm or deny would be likely to prejudice any of the matters in section 27(1) or would disclose information covered by section 27(2). If exclusion of the duty to confirm or deny whether information (under section 1(1)(a)) is held is claimed, it is not necessary to go on to claim exemption from the duty to provide the information itself (in section 1(1)(b)).
