- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld
The complainant requested from the Ministry of Defence (“MOD”) information regarding work orders for installed fencing and gates at Long Valley training area B4. MOD provided information that falls within scope of the first part of the request, and confirmed that it does not hold information to some other parts of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD should have considered the request under the EIR, rather than FOIA. However, the Commissioner is satisfied that on the balance of probabilities, the MOD does not hold any recorded information falling within the scope of the remaining parts of the request. Therefore, he does not require the MOD to take any steps as a result of this decision.
