The complainant has requested information relating to the Practice Standards Scheme (‘PSS’) which is held by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (‘RCVS’). The RCVS refused to disclose the requested information, citing sections 31(1)(g) by virtue of sections 31(2)(b-d) and 43(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the RCVS has correctly applied section 31(1)(g) by virtue of section 31(2)(c) to the requested information. She has therefore not gone on to consider the application of the other subsections of 31(2) or section 43(2) to the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 31: Not upheld
