Response
I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested in Annex B.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections 29(1)(a) (formulation or development of Scottish Government policy), 30(b)(i) (free and frank provision of advice) and 38(1) (b) (personal data relating to third party) of FOISA applies to that information.
The reasons why that exemption(s) applies are explained in Annex A to this letter.
