Atomic Weapons Establishment Plc

The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Ministry of Defence. The Commissioner’s decision is that AWE is entitled to withhold photographs the complainant has requested under sections 27(1)(a) and 27(2) of FOIA. These exemptions concern international relations and confidential information received from another State. It’s not necessary for AWE to take any corrective steps.
