Summary: The complainant requested service records relating to a number of individuals. The requests were made to the British Army (the Army) and the Royal Air Force (the RAF). Both authorities refused to provide this information, claiming that it was exempt under sections 38, 40(2), 41 and 44 of the Act. The British Army and the RAF fall within the remit of the Ministry of Defence, so the Commissioner dealt with the MOD in investigating this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
