Queen Mary University of London
The complainant has requested the full content of any reports commissioned by Queen Mary University of London in the last three years to examine its own equality, diversity and inclusion practices. The Council of Queen Mary University of London (the University) provided the complainant with a report, but redacted some information contained within the appendices under section 40(2) of the FOIA on the basis that this information is third party personal data and its disclosure would breach data protection law. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University is entitled to withhold this information in accordance with section 40(2) of the FOIA. However, the Commissioner has recorded a procedural breach of section 10 of the FOIA as the University failed to respond to the complainant’s request within the statutory time limits. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
