The number of times that Scottish Ministers have met with representatives of Babcock International Ltd since in May 2021.
Response
Details of all Ministerial engagements are published by the Scottish Government and the information can be accessed at the following link: Ministerial engagements, travel and gifts - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)
Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you.
As currently, information on ministerial engagements is only available up to the end of June 2024, I can confirm that there were no meetings between Scottish Ministers and the company between 1st July 2024 and the date of your request.
The Deputy First Minister was scheduled to meet Babcock on 27th September 2024, however this meeting was postponed at the company’s request. A new date will be arranged once the company is in a position for the meeting to take place.
