Dear Mr Zacchi,
Thank you for your email of 30 July 2022 requesting the following information:
“Could you provide a list of all military bands and corps of drums (if separate such as
the Royal Welsh) of the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force as they
appeared in 2018? A list providing the name, location, establishment (size),
command it reported to, and notes regarding its disbandment/changes in location
since 2018.”
I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (FOIA). A search for the information requested has now been
completed within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), and I can confirm that information in
scope of your request is held.
The requested information has been provided as separate PDF files enclosed with this
response as Annex A (Army), B (Royal Air Force) and C (Royal Navy).
If you are not satisfied with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the
handling of your request, then you should contact us in the first instance at the address
above. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may
apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Information Rights Compliance
team, Ground Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail
CIO-FOI-
xx@xxx.xxx.xx). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within
40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to
an end.
If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the
Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of
Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not normally
investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed. Further
details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the
Commissioner's website
