Payments to Inverquharity Estate: FOI release

Information requested

Could you supply how much money the Scottish Government or its quangos has handed to Inverquharity Estate in the last five years, with a breakdown per year and what the money was for?

Response

For this request we have interpreted the term ‘quangos’ to be relating to Scottish Public Bodies.

Further to this, we have interpreted your request in two parts as follows:

1. Could you supply how much money the Scottish Government has handed to Inverquharity Estate in the last five years, with a breakdown per year and what the money was for?

We have conducted an exhaustive search of the Scottish Government’s records across all Directorates and have found no evidence of payments to Inverquharity Estate from any Scottish Government Directorate.

2. Could you supply how much money the Scottish Government quangos has handed to Inverquharity Estate in the last five years, with a breakdown per year and what the money was for?

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide the information you have requested because an exemption under section 17(1) (Information not held) of FOISA applies to information on other public bodies’ payments.

This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested on other Scottish Public Bodies.

You will need to request this information directly from these organisations.

The following mygov.scot webpage provides a list of Scottish Public Bodies.

While we recognise that there may be some public interest in information about Payments, subsidies or funding, we cannot provide information which we do not hold.
