Secretary of State for Defence (Ministry of Defence)
The complainant has submitted a request seeking information contained in JSP 441 (which concerns information management policies) on two particular topics. The MOD asked the complainant to clarify part of his request. The complainant disputes the MOD’s view that such clarification was needed, albeit as part of his correspondence with the MOD it then established what it understood this part of the request to be asking for. The MOD subsequently disclosed the information it held on one of the requested topics (subject access requests) and explained that it did not hold any information regarding the other topic (law enforcement processing). The complainant also disputes this latter finding. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD was correct, under section 1(3) of FOIA, to seek clarification of the request. Furthermore, he is satisfied that on the balance of probabilities the MOD does not hold any information falling within the part of the request seeking information about law enforcement processing.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: 279040
