Deputy First Minister ministerial trip to Boots: FOI release

Information requested

Could you supply all correspondence held about Kate Forbes ministerial trip to Boots on September 25, including correspondence sent and received (including internal), briefings, minutes, notes from meetings, analysis?

Response

Please find enclosed the information held that falls within the scope of your request.

While our aim is to provide you information wherever we can, on this occasion we are unable to provide you with all of the information you have requested, as a statutory exemption applies:

• Section 38(1)(b) - Personal Data - This exemption applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. names and contact details, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. 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.
