Ministry of Defence

The complainant has requested a breakdown of the support provided to Ukraine and, in particular, the proportion of that support that has made it to Ukraine. The above public authority relied on sections 24 (national security), 26 (defence) and 27 (international relations) in order to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority is entitled to rely on section 27 of FOIA and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The public authority also breached section 17 of FOIA in responding to the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps. Keywords: supply chains, Russia, ministerial statements

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 27: Complaint not upheld
