While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. Therefore we are refusing that part of your request under the exception at regulation 17(1) Information not held of FOISA. The reason is that some internal flights during Mr Robertson's trip to China were booked locally and no mileage information was supplied by the airline. In addition, no mileage information was supplied by the airline for the flight to Brussels. This is a formal notice that the Scottish Government does not have some of the information requested.
