Is it incorrect then to state the interpretation given here, that there must be a decision made as to whether there was a sufficiently substantial link between the requester's personal information and the record in question? Is that incorrect? They ask a question and the FOI officer goes through the information available and has to make a decision as to whether it is appropriate. The officers do not have to get into anybody's mind. They simply work on the basis of the question.
