Response

I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections 30 Prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs, 29 Formulation of Scottish Administration policy and 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why those exemptions apply are explained below.

Some of the briefing and correspondence contained information relating to: formulation of policy, personal details and Ministerial communications.
