Ministry of Defence
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for information about a ship, HMS Fantome, which was wrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1814. The MOD provided the complainant with some information falling within the scope of his request but sought to withhold further information on the basis of sections 27(1)(a), 27(2) (international relations) 40(2) (personal data), and 42(1) (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner has concluded that the MOD is entitled to rely on the various exemptions which it has cited. However, she has also concluded that the MOD breached section 17(3) by not completing its public interest considerations within a reasonable time period.FOI 42: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld FOI 27: Complaint not upheld
