Ministry of Defence

The complainant has requested information about the UK’s deployment of Reaper drones. The above public authority relied on sections 26 (defence) and 27 (international relations) of FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority is entitled to rely on section 26 and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
