Looks as if the Birther movement is now trying to get information to help it's farcical attempt to prove Barack Obama wasn't born in the US from the British government.

Although why the FCO would hold anything on a minor African politician is beyond me

Let's just hope that the International relations exemption is used, otherwise these conspiracy theory maniacs will have a field day.

Dear Dr Levy

Thank you for your email. After 30 years public records are transferred to The National Archives (TNA). I would suggest that any information held on the subject would be retained by them.

Yours Sincerely
