What guidance has MOD given to its staff?

MOD has prepared for FOI in a number of ways. We have a network of FOI focal points across the department who have been trained in handling FOI requests. All staff have also been made aware of FOI and its implications and responsibilities. We have given all staff a copy of this booklet, our Desk Officer Guidance on how to handle FOI and EIR requests.

Also, MOD staff were informed of the importance of FOI through a widely distributed instruction. To see this recently released instruction click on the following link: Defence Internal Brief on FOI

Further guidance is available on how the MOD will deal with commercial information
