Information is exempt information if—
the information is held by the public authority with a view to its publication, by the authority or any other person, at some future date (whether determined or not),
the information was already held with a view to such publication at the time when the request for information was made, and
it is reasonable in all the circumstances that the information should be withheld from disclosure until the date referred to in paragraph (a).
The duty to confirm or deny does not arise if, or to the extent that, compliance with section 1(1)(a) would involve the disclosure of any information (whether or not already recorded) which falls within subsection (1).
