The complainant requested statistical information about the classification of masters degrees that had been awarded. The University of Leicester provided some information, but withheld all numbers fewer than five and relied on section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University of Leicester is not entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner requires the University to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose the remaining withheld data.
