Correspondence relating to A9 dualling programme: EIR release

Information requested

Any emails that were sent to Nicola Sturgeon MSP from constituents and her responses in relation to the A9 dualling between 3 December 2022 and 10 February 2023.

Response

We are applying the exemption at section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), so that we do not also have to deal with your request under FOISA.

This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances of this case, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption, because there is no public interest in dealing with the same request under two different regimes. This is essentially a technical point and has no material effect on the outcome of your request.

Any emails that were sent to Nicola Sturgeon MSP from constituents and her responses in relation to the A9 dualling between 3 December 2022 and 10 February 2023.

Please see attached Annex A with the information requested.
