The complainant has requested from the Francis Crick Institute (the ‘Crick’) information relating to a Physiologist’s emails between a Physicist, staff at the Science Media Centre and writers/reporters from 8 June 2015 to the present. The Crick has explained that it is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA and has refused to respond to this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Crick is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. He therefore upholds the Crick’s position and requires no steps to be taken in this case.
