The complainant has requested information from Regent’s University London (‘the University’) about its security department. The University did not initially respond. It subsequently explained that it had not received the request, and, in any event, it would not have been obliged to respond on the basis that it is not a public authority for the purposes of FOIA. The Commissioner has determined that the University is not subject to FOIA and therefore it does not have a duty to issue a response under the legislation. Accordingly she does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this notice.
