A university unit involved in a row over stolen e-mails on climate research breached rules by withholding data, the Information Commissioner's Office says. Officials said messages hacked in November showed that requests under the Freedom of Information Act were "not dealt with as they should have been". But too much time has passed for action against the University of East Anglia. The UEA says part of a probe into the case will consider the way requests by climate change sceptics were handled.
