Response
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: S.29(1)(a) (Formulation or Development of Scottish Government Policy), S.30(b) (Free and Frank Provision of Advice or Exchange of Views) and S.38(1)(b) (Third Party Data) of FOISA apply. The reasons why those exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter.
