Ministry of Defence
14 March 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking information regarding the cost of living allowance paid to staff overseas. The MOD disclosed some information but withheld the remainder on the basis of section 43(2) (commercial interests) and section 41(1) (information provided in confidence) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
FOI 43: Not upheld
