Dear Mr Sharman

 

Please note that KGV College will not be providing you with the
information you have requested.  KGV College do not believe the request
passes the Public Interest Test as prescribed in the Act.  Specifically
Section 43 of the Act permits public authorities to protect their own
commercial interests and those of third parties with whom they engage.  We
are determining to apply this Exemption to your request.

 

In addition, the Act also permits us to decline to provide the information
where “it would be used by the enquirer to gain competitive advantage in
the market place”.

Kind regards
