5 March 2015, Education (University)
The complainant has requested information relating to the funding the university has received from the sugar industry since 2010. The university disclosed some information but refused to disclose the amount it had received from Mars over this period citing section 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the university has acted appropriately by refusing to disclose the amount of funding it has received from Mars since 2010 under section 43 of the FOIA. He therefore requires no further action to be taken.
FOI 43: Not upheld
