Statistics on the use of Freedom of Information exemptions are published by the Ministry of Justice (Table 10 of annual reports). They are available here <a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-foi-statistics" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-foi-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-foi-statistics</a>. These statistics provide the number of times section 38 as a whole has been used by each government department. Both sections 38(1)(a) and 38(1)(b) were used by DFID in all such cases.
