Imperial College London

The complainant requested copies of training material on unconscious bias. The Council of Imperial College provided some information but withheld the remainder and relied on section 43(2) of the FOIA (commercial interests) to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that Imperial College has correctly applied section 43(2) of the FOIA to the withheld information and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
