Scottish Government Council of Economic Advisors: FOI release

Information requested

1. The last time the Scottish Government’s Council of Economic Advisors met

2. The minutes of all meeting of the Council since March 2021

3. The number personnel changes to the Council since March 2021

4. The number of times that Scottish Government Ministers have met with the Council since March 2021

Response

The Scottish Government's Council of Economic Advisers met for the final time in March 2021. Minutes of that meeting can be found at Council of Economic Advisers minutes: March 2021 - gov.scot (www.gov.scot). The Council of Economic Advisers was formally disbanded in July 2021. There were no changes to the members of the Council following the March 2021 meeting and the Council being disbanded in July 2021. Scottish Ministers did not meet with the Council between the final meeting in March 2021 and the Council being disbanded in July 2021.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. There were no meetings of the Council of Economic Advisers after March 2021 and therefore there are no minutes of meetings following this date.
