First Minister’s engagement with Anas Sarwar: FOI release

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


Information requested

All correspondence between Humza Yousaf and Anas Sarwar since Humza Yousaf’s appointment as SNP leader and First Minister.

Response

Please find attached the information you have requested.

An exemption(s) under section(s) s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. This exemption applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. names and contact details, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.

This exemption is not subject to the 'public interest test', so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
