Cost of investigation and disciplinary process re senior council officers

Wirral Council has responded to M Smith's FOI request as follows:

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your email below. I will take each point you have raised in turn and hope you find the information of use.

You would have to contact North West Employers regarding whether they subcontracted any work to Vic Hewitt Consulting Ltd. The requests we receive under FOI relate to any recorded information we hold as a Public Body and the recorded invoices we hold are for North West Employers.

Additionally, we do not have estimates recorded of the working hours of our Solicitors against individual casework.

Your final point is noted, regarding Mr Morton stating that his solicitor's fees were paid by the Council and I will make enquiries in relation to this and get back to you on this point.

Kind Regards
