Centre for Good Relations funding: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Information requested
You asked for how much money has the Scottish Government spent/given to the Centre for Good Relations in each of the last five years, with a breakdown of what the money was spent on? Could you supply all reports written by the centre and supplied to the government in the last two years?
Response
I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested.
An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested because it is personal data of a third party, for example names of individuals or other personal data such as email addresses. Disclosing this data would contravene the data protection principles in the UK 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.
