However, in accordance with the FOI Act we are not obliged to supply the Unit Diagrams as this information is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 38(1).
Our approach to the disclosure of this information has changed following a security review. In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of the information you have requested would be likely to endanger the safety of an individual. The use of this exemption in relation to similar information was considered by the Information Commissioner in Decision Notice FS50607218, which was issued on 17 March 2016. The Commissioner upheld both the application of the exemption and the balance of the public interest. We consider the same arguments apply to your request.
