I can't see a problem with releasing all the information you have about sole
traders, names included, provided you are not breaching Principles 1 and 2.
(I assume the other six Principles aren't an issue in this case.)
I would argue that the disclosure clearly meets at least the fifth and
probably the sixth Schedule 2 Conditions, so the two questions are: is the
disclosure legal - i.e. do you have the power to disclose? Do the traders
have sufficient knowledge of the fact that you may disclose to other
departments? If the answer to both is yes, tick Principle 1.
Is the disclosure compatible with the purpose the information was originally
collected for? (Note, "compatible with", not "identical to"). If yes, tick
Principle 2.
The problem would be if the information was obtained by you in a way which
prevents you complying with Principles 1 or 2 - for example if there was an
implied or explicit confidentiality or if the powers under which it was
obtained don't permit the reuse.

Subject: Sole traders and Limited Companies
Trading standards have requested a list of new businesses that have
commenced trading. I understand I can release names and addresses of
Limited companies,but can I release just the address of any sole traders ?
