The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking details of briefings the Prime Minister's office had received on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial or Anomalous Phenomena) or unidentified drones. The Cabinet Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information, citing sections 23 (security bodies), 24 (national security), 26 (defence) and 27 (international relations) of FOIA. The Commissioner's decision is that the Cabinet Office was entitled to rely on section 23(5) to refuse to confirm or deny that it holds the requested information.
