What business Mr Gray carried out at the Aberdeen football matches and who attended with him?
Response
After reviewing my response to you dated 10 December 2024, I have noticed that the paragraph about Mr Gray taking guests to sporting events was not correct. I would like to apologise for this and below is a revised response. This revised response will be published on the Scottish Government website. The documentation released under cover of these letters was correct.
I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested. Exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA apply to some of the information you have requested. This means we have redacted information linked to section 38(1)(b) relating to personal details of members of the public and Scottish Government officials under the grade of Senior Civil Servant.
For each of these visits, Mr Gray was accompanied by a Scottish Government official. For the matches against Hibs, Celtic and Rangers, Mr Gray took a guest. Mr Gray did not take a guest for the match against Livingston. The names of these attendees are withheld under Section 38(1)(b) (personal information).
