Continuity of Government

Philip Brennan made this Freedom of Information request to Ministry of Defence

The request was successful.

From: Philip Brennan

11 June 2010

Dear Ministry of Defence,

What plans have the UK Military been given for the Continuity of
Government in case of major disaster / economic collapse / invasion
/ mass civil disobedience, etc?

Do you have plans for internment camps and for engaging the British
People should the proverbial hit the fan?

Are there European Union wide plans for Continuity of Government as
per the outline above?

How many of our military personnel are over in the United States of
America working with the Department of Homeland Security, and more
specifically, with FEMA?

What arrangements are made with the US Administration for the
international management of FEMA Camps with the UK Military?

What legal restraints are on the UK Military concerning policing
the British People, i.e., what military / civilian laws are in
place to protect the British People from illegal military
activities against the same people (like the American law, Posse
Comitatus, which, incidentally, has just been repealed in the past
two months by President Obama).

I would like all relevant documentation that the UK Military has on
all of the above.

Yours faithfully,

Philip Brennan

Dear Ministry of Defence,

I am most displeased that you have not answered my FoI Request as
you are mandated to do under the Freedom of Information Act within
one month of it being made.

I still want answers to the above questions asap, and have already
written to my MP concerning this matter in order to chase it up
through Parliament.

Yours faithfully,

Philip Brennan

Tip - when dealing with the MoD chase it up through your MP too - it gets them moving faster... ;-)

helpful.

Dear Ops Dir-NI Aug (Davidson, Alan Maj),

I love how the Government lies by omission.

I have written my own reply to the contents of the FoI at my web
site. I am sure that you will find it very interesting reading
indeed...

http://www.philipbrennan.net/2010/07/14/...

If you would feel like adding to this now that I have exposed
additional information from the US Administration that is out in
the public domain over there, then please go ahead...

Yours sincerely,

Philip Brennan
