Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many requests made under the Freedom of Information Act have been declined under the grounds set out in section 26 of that Act in each of the last five years.
The Ministry of Defence publishes this information quarterly and annually through the Cabinet Office. The quarterly and annual information for 2017-2020 is available on the gov.uk website. The annual Freedom of Information Statistics for 2021 will be published in spring 2022. However, the first three quarters for 2021 are available on gov.uk.
