Meetings between Engender and any Ministers or Cabinet Secretaries since 01 April 2023: FOI release

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


Information requested

Please provide the dates and attendees of all meetings between Engender and any Ministers/Cabinet Secretaries since 01 April 2023. This should include emails about the meetings, who requested the meetings and all agendas, minutes or notes of the meetings.

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 section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA apply to that information.

An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to a small amount of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party 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.
