I enclose a copy of a letter sent by the Permanent Secretary to Mr Murdo Fraser on 21/12/2023 which addresses the accuracy and impartiality of the tweet in question.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide all of the information you have requested because an exemption under section s.30(b)(free and frank provision of advice) of FOISA applies to that information.
