Dear Freedom of Information,

Thank you for your response to my FoI request.

I look forward to hearing from you in January regarding part one of
my request.

With regards to your answer to part two, I do not feel you hae yet
complied with my request. As you are aware, I have asked for
information relating to the sanctions being considered against
Liberata. The information you have provided, for which thanks,
confirms it was decided not to apply any sanction, but it does not
confirm which sanctions were considered.

Please confirm how and by when this part of my request will be
considered?

Yours sincerely,

David Johnson

Dear Mr Johnson

Thank you for your email below regarding the Learning and Skill Council
(LSC) response to your requests. The LSC notes your comments about the
response to part 2 of your request.

As any sanction that the LSC may have considered applying would be a
sanction available to the LSC, such information would be one or more of
the sanctions already sought under part 1 of your request.

The LSC Council Solicitor is therefore also considering the public
interest test in relation to the information you have requested under
part 2, again in relation to section 43(2) (commercial interests) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. At this stage, the Council Solicitor
anticipates being in a position to respond within the timescale
previously advised for part 1 of your request (i.e. on or before 7
January) to part 2 of your request.

Tours sincerely

Russel Bailey
LSC Head of Records and Rights
