Dear all

Could I ask your advice, please. I've had a letter from a government Ministry from a non EAA country asking whether a named national of their country is or has ever been a student here. The information is apparently needed for part of an investigation into conduct of their own public servants.

My feeling is that this is not something I need to release. I can see no justification in DPA and I'm inclined to refuse. Would others agree?

(I'm having one of those weeks where I've had so many complex DP queries to make decision on I'm starting to lose faith in my own judgment. Thankfully it's almost Friday!)
