University of Bristol
15 August 2017, Education (University)
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the University of Bristol for details of project licences issued under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. The University refused to confirm or deny if the requested information was held by relying on the section 36 (effective conduct of public affairs) and section 38 (health and safety) exemptions. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36(3) and section 38(2), which provide for an exclusion from the duty to confirm or deny, are not engaged.
