Ministry of Defence
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking disclosure of UFO reports. The MOD confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of the request, namely information about requests for UFO information processed under FOIA. However, the MOD explained that it considered this information to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 22(1) (information intended for future publication) and 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD can rely on both exemptions to withhold the information falling within the scope of the request.FOI 22: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
