They assess whether a complaint should be upheld, and what action, if appropriate, is required to resolve the complaint.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the process individuals are always informed of their rights to make a complaint to the ICO directly if they are unhappy with how the MOD has dealt with their request.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 07/02/2024 14:16:31 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
