Ministry of Defence
8 November 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) asking how many Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles were engaged in operations against Daesh in Iraq and Syria and at which bases were they deployed. The MOD withheld the information on the basis of the exemptions contained at sections 26(1)(b) (defence) and 27(1)(a) (international relations) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 26(1)(a) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
FOI 26: Not upheld
