Staffing and costs regarding Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations report: FOI release

Information requested

1. The number of civil servants working on the Scottish Government's report titled: 'Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations.'

2. The total time needed to compile the Scottish Government's report titled: 'Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations.'

3. The estimated cost of putting together the Scottish Government's report titled: 'Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations.'

Response

Staff in the Scottish Government who coordinated and compiled the report titled ‘Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations’ comprised of two officials. This work drew on a range of other officials across the organisation who have contributed to varying extents as part of their wider responsibilities in supporting the Scottish Government.

I am unable to provide you with a figure for the total time needed to compile the report as, in line with usual practice, details of individual tasks carried out by civil servants, including the number of hours spent on them, are not routinely recorded because there is no business need to do this. This is a formal notice under Section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested.

The Scottish Government spent £1,602.01 on the publication of this report.
