Ministry of Defence: Public Records
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on how many occasions have documents relating to incidents, accidents, near misses and criminal activity have been closed to the public for 100 years, in each of the last ten years.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) records over the last ten years have been closed to the public for up to 100 years to protect personal information or where it is assessed that disclosure would give rise to specific risks or sensitivities.
