Ministry of Defence
29 September 2014, Central government
In November 2013 the complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for copies of eight documents it held concerning peaceful nuclear explosions. The MOD disclosed two of these documents in February 2014. However, it is continuing to examine the remaining six documents and considering the balance of the public interest under FOIA in relation to these documents. By failing to complete its public interest test considerations within a reasonable time period the Commissioner has concluded that the MOD has breached section 17(3) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the MOD to provide the complainant with the remainder of the information she requested or a refusal notice explaining why this is exempt from disclosure.
FOI 17: Upheld
