BHCC letter to government calling for investigation of EDO MBM Technology Ltd

The request was successful.

Dear Brighton and Hove City Council,

In July 2019 it was reported in The Argus that the Council had agreed to send a letter to the government concerning EDO MBM Technology Ltd and its supply of bomb- parts for Paveway IV munitions used - according to a UN Panel of Experts report - in war crimes carried out by Saudi-led forces in Yemen.
https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17803036...
The letter was reportedly sent in October 2019.
https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17939859...
Please provide copies of the letter, any responses from government, and any related communications or records from July 2019 to present.

Yours faithfully,

Ceri Gibbons

7 July 2021

Case Reference: IC-107718-X7P9

Dear Ceri Gibbons,

Freedom of Information Act 2000
Brighton and Hove City Council
Case Reference Number: IC-107718-X7P9

Please find attached a decision notice relating to your complaint about a request for information that you submitted to the above public authority. Please note that you will not receive a paper copy.

Your complaint has been considered by the Commissioner and the decision notice sets out the reasons for the decision. If you disagree with the decision notice, you have the right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Information Rights). Your appeal rights are explained on the final page of the notice.

The Commissioner will publish this decision on the ICO website, but will remove all names and addresses of complainants. If the public authority also chooses to reproduce this decision notice, then the Commissioner expects similar steps to be taken.

You should write to us if the Council fails to comply with any steps specified by the Commissioner in the decision notice. It is important to note that our power to commence legal proceedings in this situation is discretionary and although we will look into the matter, formal action will not be appropriate in all cases.

Yours sincerely,

Senior Case Officer
Information Commissioner's Office

ICO Decision Notice

Reference: IC-107718-X7P9

Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)

Decision notice Date: 7 July 2021

Public Authority: Brighton and Hove City Council

Decision (including any steps ordered)

1. The complainant requested copies of correspondence with the government relating to a munitions manufacturer. Brighton and Hove City Council (“the Council”) had failed to issue a response at the date of this notice.

2. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA.

3. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.

• Issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.

4. The [PA] must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

Request and response

5. On 27 February 2021, the complainant wrote to the Council and requested information in the following terms: “In July 2019 it was reported in The Argus that the Council had agreed to send a letter to the government concerning EDO MBM Technology Ltd and its supply of bomb- parts for Paveway IV munitions used - according to a UN Panel of Experts report - in war crimes carried out by Saudi-led forces in Yemen. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17803036... “The letter was reportedly sent in October 2019. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17939859... “Please provide copies of the letter, any responses from government, and any related communications or records from July 2019 to present..”

6. The Council acknowledged the request on 27 February 2021. It issued a further holding response on 30 March 2021 in which it stated that the response had to be approved “due to the sensitivity of some of the material,” but it had failed to provide a substantive response by the date of this notice.

Scope of the case

7. The complainant contacted the Commissioner on 21 May 2021 to complain about the failure, by the Council, to respond to the request.

8. In line with her usual practice, the Commissioner contacted the Council on 21 June 2021 to highlight the outstanding response. She requested that the Council respond to the request within 10 working days. The correspondence was neither acknowledged nor responded to.

9. The complainant contacted the Commissioner on 6 July 2021 to request a decision notice considering the Council’s compliance with the FOIA.

10. The scope of this notice and the following analysis is to consider whether the Council has complied with section 10 of the FOIA.

Reasons for decision

11. Section 1(1) of the FOIA states that:

Any person making a request for information to a public authority is entitled –
(a) to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request, and
(b) if that is the case, to have that information communicated to him.
12. Section 8(1) of the FOIA states:
In this Act any reference to a “request for information” is a reference to such a request which –
(a) is in writing,
(b) states the name of the applicant and an address for correspondence, and
(c) describes the information requested.

13. The Commissioner considers that the request in question fulfilled these criteria and therefore constituted a valid request for recorded information under the FOIA.

14. Section 10 of the FOIA states that responses to requests made under the Act must be provided “promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth working day following the date of receipt.”

15. From the evidence presented to the Commissioner in this case, it is clear that, in failing to issue a response to the request within 20 working days, the Council has breached section 10 of the FOIA.

Right of appeal

16. Either party has the right to appeal against this decision notice to the First-tier Tribunal (Information Rights). Information about the appeals process may be obtained from:
First-tier Tribunal (Information Rights)
GRC & GRP Tribunals,
PO Box 9300,
LEICESTER,

Fax: 0870 739 5836
Email: grc@justice.gov.uk
Website: www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/general-reg...
17. If you wish to appeal against a decision notice, you can obtain information on how to appeal along with the relevant forms from the Information Tribunal website.
18. Any Notice of Appeal should be served on the Tribunal within 28 (calendar) days of the date on which this decision notice is sent.

Freedom of Information request

Dear Brighton and Hove City Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Brighton and Hove City Council's handling of my FOI request 'BHCC letter to government calling for investigation of EDO MBM Technology Ltd' sent on 1 March 2021.

I am grateful for the response dated today 18 August 2021 from BHCC even if it very late and under threat of potential legal action by the Information Commissioner due the BHCC's failure to comply with the ICO Decision Notice date 7 July 2021.

I now request an internal review of the handling of this request on the following grounds.

1. There is no reasonable explanation as to why this information was not released earlier.Earlier correspondence stating that the requested information was 'sensitive' is not plausible on the evidence of the information finally disclosed. Please provide a reasonable explanation for the delay in this case.

2. Please review and explain the absence of other" related communications or records from July 2019 to present” other than the letter to Caroline Lucas MP from DIT sent indirectly to BHCC. To clarify I was referring to internal and external communcations or records. I am not convinced no such communications or records are held.

Yours faithfully,

Ceri Gibbons
