Royal College of Music

In a two part request, the complainant has requested from the Royal College of Music (RCM) consultation material associated with the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) and email correspondence. RCM refused to disclose the requested information, citing section 41(1) of FOIA which concerns information provided in confidence. The Commissioner’s decision is that RCM was entitled to rely on section 41(1) of FOIA to withhold the information requested in part one of the complainant’s request. The Commissioner doesn’t require any steps as a result of this decision notice.
