Dear University of Surrey,

Disappointing.

Who would be the Senior Manager ?

In your organisation, who do you class as a Senior Manager ?

Was it the whole request denied or just part of it ? Can some of the information requested be provided and not come under the exemption ?

Yours faithfully,

Rev. N Robert J

University of Surrey

Dear Rev. N Robert J

The University can confirm that the decision sent to you on 23 May refers to the whole request. The whole request was considered vexatious and covered by the exemption in section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act and this decision was upheld by the Internal Review Panel.

James Newby, Director of Business Support & Traded Services would be the person with whom you would meet or speak on the telephone. If you are interested in doing so, please send your personal contact details to [email address] so that arrangements can be made with you.

Yours sincerely
