Response

I attach a copy of some of the information you requested. This can be found in the Annex to this letter.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have most of the information you have requested.

However, you may wish to contact each of the 32 local authorities in Scotland who may be able to help you. The websites for each local authority can be found at: https://www.cosla.gov.uk/councils. Each local authority website will include contact details for FOI requests. For example, for Aberdeen City Council: https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/council-and-democracy/access-information/make-freedominformation-request

The reasons why we don’t have the information are explained in the Annex to this letter.
