With
regard to the release ofinfonnation from the files not yet available in the Public
Record Office, the Ministry of Defence operates in accordance with the existing Code of Practice
on Access to Goverrunent Infonnation (the Code), which encourages the provision ofinfonnation
unless its disclosure would, for example, cause harm to defence, invade an individual's privacy, or
if it would take an unreasonable diversion of resources to respond to a request. Infonnation
requested is supplied wherever possible providing it does not fall under one of the exemptions in
the Code. If you are interested in a limited amount of material from these files, for instance, you
have a particular date or sighting in mind, then we may be able to be of further assistance.
I hope this is helpful.
