The Governing Body of the City of Liverpool College

The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Governing Body of the City of Liverpool College (the College) for the detailed costs of running a course. The College refused the request under the section 43(2) (commercial interests) exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 43(2) was correctly applied and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
