Retained record FO 1016/469 by the Foreign Office
Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
I would like to enquire as to why the record FO 1016/469, 1956, has been retained under Section 3.4 of the Public Records Act.
The record in question is apparently Part 5 of a 6-part series of records titled Bahrain: Internal Political Situation, 1956. Part 4 (FO 1016/468) and 5 (FO 1016/470) are openly available, but Part 5 is not.
Yours faithfully,
Ali Al-Jamri
Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
It has been two months since I sent my request, which by law should have been answered in late July. I am still waiting on your response.
Yours faithfully,
Ali Al-Jamri

Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
As your reply today is the first message I have received from the FCO, I have not even been given a reference number.
