Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Information requested
I am seeking information on any filming activity your organisation has facilitated, hosted, supported, approved, or otherwise been directly involved in on your premises or in your area. This includes activity where a fee was charged as well as activity where no fee was charged, but where the organisation was aware of and involved in enabling the filming to take place.
I am not asking for estimates of all filming that may have occurred in your area. I am only requesting information relating to productions for which your organisation itself has records due to its direct involvement.
For each of the last six years, please provide the following, broken down by year:
1. The number of film or television productions your organisation facilitated or was involved in.
2. The total number of filming days associated with those productions.
Response
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, please note Education Scotland has never facilitated, hosted, supported, approved, or otherwise been directly involved in filming activity on our premises or in our area.
This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA, that Education Scotland does not hold the information you have requested.
