Response

I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested attached electronically in the accompanying email.

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 of exemptions under sections: 38 (personal information) ; 30 (free and frank provision of views) and 29 (formulation of Scottish Administration policy) of FOISA applies to that information.

In response to your last question:

"Was a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Official present at the recent meeting between Angus Robertson and Michéal Martin, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defence of the Republic of Ireland?"

In line with agreed practice, an FCDO official was not present at this meeting.
