Ministry of Defence (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50323740 (14 July 2011)

Summary: The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) about its proposals to develop a new enriched uranium facility at AWE Aldermaston. The MoD provided some information, withholding the remainder citing the exemptions in sections 24 (national security) and 43 (commercial interests). The Commissioner has investigated and found that some of the information withheld under section 43 was incorrectly withheld and orders its disclosure. He also identified a series of procedural shortcomings on the part of the public authority relating to delay (sections 1 and 10) and failure to explain application of exemptions (section 17).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Partly Upheld
