Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. Therefore we are refusing that portion of your request under the exception at regulation 17(1) Information not held of FOISA. The reason is we no longer hold copies of the booking confirmations for Ms Gougeon's journey to France on 27 November 2022, as these have been routinely deleted in line with our records management practice.

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.

On 29 November 2022 Ms Gougeon travelled from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Edinburgh Airport.
