The complainant asked the Council to release a copy of the contract it signed in 2001 with BT relating to the establishment and duties of Liverpool Direct Limited. The Council responded releasing a redacted version of this contract to the complainant. It informed the complainant that the information it had redacted was being withheld under sections 41 and 43(2) of the Act. During the Commissioner’s investigation the complainant agreed to limit the scope to certain sections of the contract. As a result of the Commissioner’s involvement some of these sections were disclosed. However, the Council remained of the opinion that the information redacted from clause 43 of the Service Provision Agreement and schedule 21 in its entirety should be withheld under sections 41 and 43(2) of the Act. The Commissioner has considered the application of these exemptions to the remaining information. He has concluded that neither section 41 or 43(2) apply to this information. He has therefore ordered disclosure within 35 days of this Notice.
