When you look at the rules for disclosing information in this part of the law, you need to remember that some information does not have to be shared. If someone asks for information that could be refused under section 18 of the Official Information Act 1982, then it does not have to be disclosed, except in one specific case. This specific case is when the reason for refusing the information is the one set out in section 18(d) of that Act.
