Correspondence regarding BAE Systems opening Janet Harvey Hall: FOI release

Information requested

Could you supply all documentation held by the Scottish Government, including correspondence sent and received, minutes/notes from meetings, briefings and analysis, about BAE Systems opening Janet Harvey Hall on 25 June 2025, between May 1 2025 and July 15 2025?

Did any Ministers get invited, if so who, and why did they accept or not accept?

Response

The First Minister and the Deputy First Minister were both invited by the organiser to attend BAE Systems opening Janet Harvey Hall on 25 June 2025. The Deputy First Minister declined on behalf of herself and the Scottish Government, due to time constraints.

I have attached all documentation held by the Scottish Government regarding the BAE Systems opening of Janey Harvey Hall between May 1 2025 and July 15 July 2025.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested under the following exemptions of FOISA and FOIA that apply to sections of the information:
An exemption under section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested as it is personal data of a third party 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.
