Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.


Information requested

How much did it cost the government to send a baby box to New York, and could you supply a full breakdown of these costs?

Could you supply all documentation held by the government about this, including minutes/notes from meetings, correspondence sent and received and briefings, from the last two months?

Response

Transport for 23 Kg to New York

£82.92

Duty and Taxes

£35.20

Baby Box

£160

Total

£278.12

I enclose a copy of correspondence involving the Scottish Government and Scottish Ministers relating to sending a Baby Box to Zohran Mamdani.

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 exemptions under section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information.
