Dear Shannon,

With reference to your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act, I am writing to inform you that your request has been refused.

While it is the School’s policy to respond as fully as possible to requests for information, it is not always able to do so. All refusals must be justified by reference to an exemption from the obligation to disclose the information specified in the FoI legislation. In this instance we have applied the exemption in Section 40(2) as the number of students that would have fitted within the boundaries of your request is less than 5. As such, the information is personal data that cannot form part of a statistical set and therefore could be used to identify the students concerned.

However, should you wish to appeal the decision, put your appeal in writing to Louise Nadal, School Secretary, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE. We will then review the response to your request and get back to you within 20 working days. You can also contact the Information Commissioner's Office http://www.ico.gov.uk/, though they expect the internal review to be carried out before receiving a complaint directly

Yours sincerely,
Rachael Maguire
Information and Records Manager
London School of Economics
