Briefings regarding celebrating Easter in Scotland: FOI release

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


Information requested

All briefings prepared for Humza Yousaf and the Scottish Government Cabinet Minister about celebrating Easter in Scotland. 

Response

I enclose a copy 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 an exemption under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. the names and individual telephone and email contact details of officials within the Scottish Government or UK government departments. 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.
