St Antony's College, Oxford

The complainant has made a four part request for information relating to an agreement between Tsinghua University and St Antony's College. The Governing Body of St Antony’s College (the college) provided the information falling within the scope of parts 1 and 3 of the request but refused to provide the information requested in parts 2 and 4 of the request citing section 40(2) (third party personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the college has failed to comply with section 1 of FOIA due to it not conducting appropriate searches for information falling within the scope of part 4 of the request. In addition, the college has failed to demonstrate that section 40(2) of FOIA is engaged.The Commissioner requires the college to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: • disclose the information requested under part 2 of the request, • disclose the information it has already located falling within the scope of part 4 of the request, and • conduct appropriate searches for any further information falling within the scope of part 4 of the request and, if further information is identified, disclose it.
