M.O.D Complaint.

The request was successful.

Alvin Pritchard.

Dear Ministry of Defence, Why does the M.O.D refuse to answer my F.O.I request "Cheating Recruits Of H.M Forces" and further, refuse to address my internal review request, forcing me to complain to the F.O.I Commissioners Office?

Yours faithfully,

Alvin Pritchard.

Case Reference Number FS50288085

Dear Mr Pritchard,

Your information request to the Ministry of Defence (MoD)

Further to my previous correspondence, I have now written to the MoD to provide them with a copy of your original request, reminding it of its responsibilities and asking it to respond to you within 10 working days of receiving our letter. I attach a copy for your information.

As you will see, even though the Commissioner does not intend to issue a formal notice in this case, your concerns have been taken seriously. Thank you for bringing this matter to the attention of the Information Commissioner.

If the MoD responds and refuses to release the information you have asked for and you are dissatisfied, you may, after exhausting their internal complaints procedure, complain to us again.

This case has now been closed with the delayed response element showing as ‘withdrawn’ on our records. If you do not receive a response within 10 working days or are dissatisfied after having exhausted the internal review process mentioned above and would like us to look into the matter, please contact us quoting the reference number on this letter.

Should you have any questions about this please contact our Helpline on 0303 123 1113.

Yours sincerely,

Jenny Sanders
