Response

I attach a response to your request. After performing comprehensive searches of our archives we have provided to you the information held by the Scottish Government that falls within the scope of your request. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information that fell within the scope of your request because statutory exemptions under FOISA apply. The reason why these exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter.
