Secretary of State for Defence (Ministry of Defence)

The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Defence (MOD). By the date of this notice the MOD has not issued a substantive response to this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has failed to complete its deliberations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable time and has therefore breached section 17(3) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the MOD to provide a substantive response to this request.
