'Pending the outcome of the appeal, the FCO is not releasing any further information at this stage. The decision in the appeal wil  be available on the Tribunal’s website in due course.'

The appeal has been decided in favour of the FCO:

EA/2019/0031

http://informationrights.decisions.tribu...

'21. The tribunal is satisfied that the FCO is correct to argue that the public interest balance to be struck with respect to the s37 exemption falls decisively in favour of non-disclosure and therefore it is not necessary to explore its other grounds of appeal.'

'Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein is set to be stripped of his CBE by the Government this week after his conviction for rape.

Weinstein, 68, who was sentenced to 23 years in prison by a US court earlier this year, is expected to lose the CBE when the Honours Forfeiture Committee meets on Friday to consider recipients who have brought the system into disrepute.'
