Dear Sir or Madam,

Could you please tell me how much commission Ede & Ravenscroft pay
the University each year for the graduation photography and gowning
contract.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Whittaker

I refer to your request set out below. I am unable to supply you with the information you have requested on the basis that the information is confidential and disclosure would constitute an actionable breach of confidence in accordance with section 41 of the FOI Act 2005.

I can however inform you that the photography contract is not between the University and Ede & Ravenscroft but rather between the Guild of Students and Ede & Ravenscroft.

If you have any further queries in relation to this matter please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also note that if you disagree with this decision you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Your sincerely

Mr Kevan Ryan
