Secretary of State for Defence (Ministry of Defence)

The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a copy of his late grandfather’s service record. The MOD provided the complainant with a copy of the record but redacted some parts of this on the basis of section 41(1) (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner’s decision is that the redacted information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 41(1) of FOIA.
