Dear Mr Binge,

Please see attached response to your Freedom of Information request of
7^th March regarding JAMES maintenance records of various vehicles.

Kind regards,

DE&S Secretariat

Mr Binge,

FOI2018-03519

I can confirm that information is being withheld for the vehicles
registered:

·        26KK80, 26KK81, 26KK87,  26KK94, 26KK96, 27KK04, 27KK18.

These vehicles are still in service and to disclose their information
could impact operations by allowing enemies to draw conclusions about
Armed Forces capabilities. This is the case for each of the vehicle
registration numbers above, therefore all of the JAMES maintenance records
you have requested have been withheld under section 26(1)(b) of the FOI
Act.

The original response letter may have been a little misleading. Of the
vehicles you requested in this request, some had no maintenances reports
on record, while the ones that did were live assets and thus fell within
scope of Section 26(1)(b).

Hope this clarifies it.

Dear DES Sec-FOI (MULTIUSER),

Via previous FOI requests the MOD have provided MERLIN reports for the
following vehicles: 26KK80, 26KK81, 26KK87,  26KK94, 26KK96, 27KK04,
27KK18.

Those MERLIN reports list on them that they have been CAST along with the
CAST date. These vehicles have also been disposed of (sold to private
individuals) via the approved disposal agent Witham (Specialist Vehicles)

Yours sincerely,

Tyler Binge
