Dear Brockenhurst College,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Brockenhurst College's handling of my FOI request 'Access control systems'.

My request for information was refused on with Section 43 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act which states that the public disclosure of the information requested would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of both the College and its suppliers.

Whilst I would challenge this as a point of refusal, I can appreciate the college's desire to protect the commercial interests of itself and its suppliers. I will therefore simplify my request by instead asking:

- What is the make of access control readers used on site? (this information is available to anyone with access to site as the branding is on the readers themselves)
- What is the approximate number of readers on site?
- Who is responsible for managing these systems within the College?

Thank you in advance.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Yours faithfully,

K York
