We do not hold the statistics detailed above for Information Sharing Agreement Two as this agreement is designed to facilitate the real time 24/7 streaming of data in the categories mentioned therein and does not involve subsequent case by case requests from Police Scotland to Transport Scotland.
Redactions have been made to these data sharing agreements under section 381b of the FOISA as the agreements contained 3rd party, personally identifiable data.
