Ministry of Defence

The complainant has requested a copy of JSP 900: the UK targeting policy from the Ministry of Defence (‘the MOD’). The MOD refused the request on the basis that section 14 of FOIA applies (vexatious request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD was not correct to apply section 14 to refuse the request. He has also decided that it did not comply with the requirements of section 17 of the Act in that it did not provide its response within 20 working days of the date of receipt of the request for information. The Commissioner therefore requires the MOD to take the following step: To respond to the request again, without relying upon section 14 of FOIA.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 14: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 185375
