First Minister's interview with Nick Robinson's Political Thinking radio show documentation: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
All documentation held about John Swinney's interview with Nick Robinson's Political Thinking radio show in October 2024, including correspondence sent and received (including internal), briefings, analysis of how it went, between September 1 2024 and December 1 2024.
Response
I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under s.38(1)(b) (personal information)] of FOISA applies to that information.
This exemption is not subject to the 'public interest test', so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
