The number of FOI requests made by the BBC each year since the SNP first came to power.
Response
The information you requested for the period from 1 January 2017 to the date of your request is set out in the following table:
| Year | Number of FOI requests from the BBC |
|---|---|
| 2008 | 15 |
| 2009 | 13 |

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested for the period from 4 May to 31 December 2007 because the system we use for recording and monitoring FOI requests was introduced from 1 January 2008. The database we used before that date is obsolete and is no longer accessible. This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have this part of the information you have requested.
