The complainant has requested information relating to Batchelor’s and Master’s degrees in computing. The Council of Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine relied on section 43 of FOIA (commercial interests) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the College has failed to demonstrate that section 43 of FOIA is engaged and is therefore not entitled to rely on this exemption. The Commissioner requires the College to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose, to the complainant, the information it has relied on section 43 of FOIA to withhold.
