Department for Innovation Universities and Skills

The complainant made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”) on 13 May 2008 to the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (“DIUS”). The complainant requested information relating to extremist activity at Bradford University over the previous two years. DIUS failed to respond to this request despite repeated reminders to do so. The Commissioner has therefore decided that DIUS failed to comply with section 1(1)(a) and (b) of the Act and must now do so within 35 days of the date of this notice. Furthermore the Commissioner also found that the DIUS failed to comply with the time for compliance set out at section 10(1) of the Act.
