G:\FOI\Request Disclosure Logs\July 2017 Responses Request I am requesting all data regarding the cuts by Merseytravel for the 101 bus service, and the name of consultation firm and the costs for carrying out the Liverpool Bus Review. Response Further to your recent request made under the Freedom of Information Act, please find Merseytravel’s response attached. I can confirm that all work as part of the Liverpool Bus Review has been carried out internally, so no consultation firms have been used. Some survey sheets contained the name and signature of the Merseytravel officer who carried out the work. Please note that personal information is exempt under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as disclosure would allow the possibility of the identification of a living individual(s), thereby breaching the Data Protection Act 1998. I do not regard disclosure as constituting the ‘fair and lawful’ processing of personal data, meaning that its release would therefore breach the First Principle of the Data Protection Act 1998, neither do I believe that any of the conditions of Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 are met. I am also of the opinion that disclosure of the information would not provide any greater understanding of the subject matter. The names and signatures have therefore been redacted in accordance with Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right under the Act to ask for an internal review, which should be addressed to: Mrs Julie Watling Legal, Democratic Services & Procurement Manager Merseytravel PO Box 1976 Liverpool L69 3HN [email protected] If you are not content with the result of your internal review, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner, whose address is The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF www.ico.gov.uk G:\FOI\Request Disclosure Logs\July 2017 Responses Liverpool Bus Services Frequency Contract Contract Annual Service Operator From To Commercial Deminimis Contracted School?
