Ministry of Defence

The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a copy of the service record of his late father. The MOD responded by explaining that it could not locate any such record. The complainant challenged this decision and the Commissioner issued a decision notice concluding that on the balance of probabilities no information was held. The complainant appealed that notice to the First-Tier Tribunal who concluded that the MOD had not conducted sufficient searches to locate the requested information and ordered the MOD to issue a fresh response to the request. The MOD did so, and after conducting further searches, again concluded that it did not hold the requested information. The complainant has challenged this finding to the Commissioner. The Commissioner has again concluded that on the balance of probabilities the MOD does not hold any information falling within the scope of the request.
