Former Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Scottish Police Federation communications: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Information requested
All documents held by the Scottish Government (dated between 1st January 2020 and 20th May 2021) pertaining to contact between the former Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Humza Yousaf (and/or his office) and representatives of the Scottish Police Federation. This should include all email correspondence, notes of phone calls, minutes of meetings, and any other relevant documentation.
Response
I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested.
An exemption(s) under section(s) 38(1)(b)of FOISA applies to some the information you have requested. This is because parts of the documents contain personal information such as names, telephone numbers and email addresses. 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.
