Correspondence between the Constitutional Futures Division and the Hunter Foundation: FOI release

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


Information requested

With respect to contact between the Constitutional Futures Division and the Hunter Foundation, 1st May 2021 - date, please provide:

  1. The dates of all meetings held, in person or virtual.
  2. Any documentation relating to the meetings, including agendas, presentation materials, minutes, notes, or briefings.
  3. All correspondence between the Constitutional Futures Division and the Hunter Foundation, 1st May 2021 - date.

Response

Most of the information you have requested is included at Annex A.

An exemption under Section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (Personal Information) applies to a small amount of the information you have requested in part 3 of your request because it is the personal data of a third party, i.e. names and contact details of civil servants below SCS, 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.
