Information requested

You asked for the following information:

“Who attended a meeting at Gretna with Jamie Hepburn MSP, along with 30 or so others on the 13th January 2020.”

Response

I assume your query refers to Mr Hepburn’s attendance at the Manufacturing roundtable that was held at 12.30 on 13 January 2020. With that meeting in mind I have included the attendee list for this meeting in Annex B. Please note that some exemptions apply under section 38 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). This exemption is further explained in Annex A.

ANNEX A
