Dear FOI,
Could you please send the data in an excel document with all the corresponding fields of each candidate in a single row?
Yours sincerely,
Alan Li
Dear Mr Li,
An Excel version of the data disclosed is attached. We are unable to present this in a one-row-per-applicant format as this would risk the identification of individuals. Accordingly such a presentation is exempt under section 40(3A)(a) of the Act because the release of the raw data would breach the first data protection principle (the fair, lawful and transparent processing of personal data) as set out in the UK General Data Protection Regulation. If you wish to request a review of this please follow the instructions in our response letter.
Regards,
