Correspondence which mentions King Charles: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
Could you supply all documentation held by the Scottish Government, including correspondence sent and received (including internal), minutes/notes from meetings, briefings and analysis, which mentions King Charles, limited to the first ministers office and external affairs/constitution office between February 15 2026 and March 20 2026?.
Response
Please find attached three batches of documents which fall under scope.
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), s.41(a) (communications with His Majesty, other members of the Royal Family/Royal Household) and s.41(b) (the awarding of honours by The King), s.30(b)(i) (free and frank provision of advice) and s.30(c) (otherwise prejudice effective conduct of public affairs) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why the exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter.
