Copy of Corporate News article and comments: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
Corporate News article: New pensions portal, Ask ET, snazzy jumpers and more.
ALL comments under the article.
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(s) under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information.
An exemption under section s.38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to some of the information you have requested because it is personal data of a third party, for example the names of staff who are in grades below the Senior Civil Service.
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.
