The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a copy of the information held by the MOD Police concerning its investigation into particular allegations raised by him. The MOD sought to withhold all of the requested information on the basis of sections 30(1)(a)(i) and 30(2)(a)(i) of FOIA and also sought to argue that parts of the information also attracted the exemptions contained at sections 40(2), 40(1), 43(2) and 21(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that all of the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 30(1)(a)(i) and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
