Information requested

All documentation held by the Scottish Government, including correspondence sent and received (including internal), minutes/notes from meetings, briefings and analysis. which is/from Marie Macklin or mentions her, from the last two months.

Response

Please find attached the information sought.

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 29(1)(a)b (development of future policy), 30(b)(ii) (free and frank advice, and exchange of views), 33(1)(b)( disclosure would (or would be likely to) prejudice substantially the commercial interests of any person or organisation, and 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information.

These exemptions are subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances of this case, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption.
