Good morning
Thank you for your email below in which you are requested access to
information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). We note
that you have requested access to information held by the Classification
Board which relates to Battlefield 2042.
In regards to the first point of your request, we do not release
un-redacted copies of previously released documents.
In regards to the second point of your request, for a request to be valid
under the FOI Act you must provide us with sufficient information
concerning the document you are requesting to enable the department to be
able to identify it.
At this point in time, we do not consider that you have provided us with
that information, and as such, we currently regard your request to be
invalid for the purposes of section 15(2)(b) of the FOI Act.
Consultation
Where a request is not valid under the FOI Act, the Department is required
to assist you in making a request in a manner that complies with the
requirements of the Act. We are therefore seeking further clarification
from you as to the documents you wish to seek access to.
Can you please specify which email or email’s about Battlefield 2042
during the classification process you are seeking.
If you do not contact us and engage with us on the revision of the scope
of your request within 14 days of the date of this email, we will consider

Please reach out if you have any questions.
