The complainant submitted a meta-request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking information about how a previous request he had submitted to the public authority had been handled. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA because it has failed to provide a valid response to the meta-request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days.
