Under section 43 (2) the following questions will be exempt from disclosure
Questions, 4, 5 , 9, 11,12, 19,21,22,25,26,27.

The exemption available under section 43(2) of the Act is one of the exemptions which is subject to the public interest test. In the circumstances even though the council is of the view that the exemption is engaged we have gone on to consider where the balance of that test lies.
The public interest factors which the council has identified in disclosing the information are that disclosure would ensure:
a) there is transparency and accountability in the expenditure of public funds
b) public money is being used effectively and that the council is getting value for money when entering into contracts with third parties for the provision of services
c) there is transparency in ensuring that Bikeability is meeting its contractual obligations in relation to service provision.
The public interest factors which the council has identified in maintaining the exemption are that disclosure would or would be likely to:
a) have a material and detrimental impact on Bikeability, both in relation to its contract with the Council but, also, in relation to existing contracts with other local authorities and tendering opportunities
b) weaken Bikeability position in a competitive environment by revealing market sensitive information or information of potential usefulness to its competitors.
c) in the long run, effect the value for money the councils should achieve from this form of contract.
