Information requested

Expenses claimed by the Scottish government. In particular relating to two yoga classes on the 23rd October 2021 and 12th December 2021 both charged at £65. I would like to know why this was accepted as a legitimate expense and how many people have claimed this amount.

Response

A 45 minute online yoga class was organised for Scottish Government employees for them to participate in a team wellbeing day. The payment covered the teacher's corporate rate of £5.00 per attendee and was deducted from allocated budget.
