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 me in
the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are
still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review
by contacting the Head of Corporate Information, 6^th Floor, MOD Main
Building, Whitehall SW1A 2HB (email [1][email address]). 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 solution 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 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,
