Correspondence with Perth museum regarding the stone of destiny: FOI release

Information requested

Please could you provide me with all the correspondence from the last six months, between the Perth museum and civil servants and government which mentions the stone of destiny? If this request would exceed the cost limit please could advise me ahead of time. If possible, could the request specifically include correspondence from James Hind to Perth Museum.

Response

A copy of some of the information you requested is attached to the covering email.

Reasons for not providing information

An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. This is because it relates to personal data of a third party i.e. names and contact details of individuals, 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.

Please note that a separate response will be issued to you in respect of information held on behalf of the Commissioners for the Safeguarding of the Regalia
