Summary: The complainant asked the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to provide him with briefing notes and submissions to the Secretary of State regarding the decision to scrap the Ark Royal and the decision to retire the Harrier Fleet announced as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review. The MOD initially withheld all of the information on the basis of a number of exemptions contained within the Freedom of Information Act, although during the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the complainant was provided with some of the information he had requested. The Commissioner has concluded that the remaining information is indeed exempt from disclosure either on the basis of section 36 (the effective conduct of public affairs exemption) or section 26 (the defence exemption).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 26 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
