Ministry of Defence

The complainant has requested information about Info Ops Spending. The public authority’s position is to neither confirm nor deny holding any information by virtue of the exemptions in sections 23(5) (information held by, or relating to, security bodies) and 24(2) (national security). The Commissioner accepts that it had no duty to confirm or deny holding information in this case and he does not require the public authority to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0242 dismissed.
