University of Cambridge
The complainant has requested information relating to an application for a research grant for the Spectrum 10k project. The Council of the University of Cambridge provided a redacted version of the information, but relied on section 22A (research) and section 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal data) to withhold some information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 22A of FOIA is engaged, but that the balance of the public interest favours disclosure. A small amount of the withheld information is exempt under section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the University to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose, to the complainant, copies of all the information it has withheld. The University may react individual contact details.FOI 22A: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld
