Taxis for Ministerial travel: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
FOI reference: FOI/18/01752
Date received: 21 June 2018
Date responded: 19 July 2018
Information requested
Internal Scottish Government correspondence from 1 January 2018 to date on the use of taxis for Ministerial travel.
Response
I enclose a copy of information (via email) held by the Scottish Government relating to your request.
Reasons for not providing information
An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to some of the information you have requested because it is personal data of a third party and disclosing it (names/personal details) would contravene the data protection principles in Schedule 1 to the Data Protection Act 1998. 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.
