Former First Minister's Windsail visit: FOI Release

Information requested

Could you supply all documentation held by the Scottish Government mentioning or from Windsail, including minutes/notes from Humza Yousaf's visit there on April 17, briefings, correspondence or analysis, from between March 15 2024 and July 15 2024?

Response

The information held by the Scottish Government that falls within the scope of your request has been attached separately for your reference. While our aim is to provide you information wherever we can, on this occasion we are unable to provide you with all of the information you have requested as statutory exemptions under FOISA apply. Details on what exemptions apply and why can be found in the annex below.

ANNEX A

REASONS FOR NOT PROVIDING INFORMATION

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

A small amount of the information in the attached documents was deemed to be out of scope of your request.
