Wycliffe Hall

The complainant has requested information relating to the relationship between Wycliffe Hall (Wycliffe), a theological college within the University of Oxford, and the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA). Wycliffe agreed to the disclosure of the requested information with the exception of a limited amount contained in a partnership agreement. This was withheld under section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wycliffe incorrectly applied section 43(2) of FOIA. He therefore requires it to disclose a complete copy of the partnership agreement to ensure compliance with the legislation.
