Thanks for the replies - it seems like it was just never considered as part of the ruling? I doubt a FoI request would get anywhere if no-one thought about it, unless anyone can think of a specific target.
Also, would it be possible, ignoring cost issues, to request that the information is released in anonymized form? If the High Court judgement and the FoI amendement only covered the actual data, for security reasons etc., would it still legally exempt them from releasing the similarity information? Saying that A = B is different from saying what A and B are. Not knowing much legally, or the details, maybe this could be clarified from the wording of both - or more probably in a ruling. Practically I'm sure it wouldn't happen for cost reasons anyway, and as Matthew has just pointed out the Telegraph will hopefully be releasing the information anyway - but it might be useful to clarify anomyizing techniques for FoI requests in the future when a convenient leak doesn't happen.
