Transport Scotland - Glasgow Airport rail link documentation: FOI release

Information requested

All documentation held by Transport Scotland, including correspondence sent and received (including internal), minutes/notes from meetings, briefings and analysis, about a Glasgow Airport rail link, from the last two months.

Response

I enclose a copy of the information you requested in Annex A

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 exception under regulation 11(2) (personal information) of the EIRs applies to that information. The reasons why that exception applies are explained in the Annex to this letter below.

Please note, any information that does not relate to the ask has been deemed ‘out of scope’ and therefore removed.

ANNEX

Reasons for not providing information

An exception applies

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, under regulation 11(2) provides that where the information requested includes personal data about a person other than the applicant and disclosure would contravene the data protection principles in Schedule 1 to the Data Protection Act 1998, the public authority shall not make that personal data available.

In this instance, we consider that to reveal whether the information you have requested exists or is held by the Scottish Government would involve making personal information available about employees of the Scottish Government’ or individuals who have corresponded with the Scottish Government in contravention of regulation 11. Therefore, all personal data has been removed or replaced with ‘[redacted]’.
