Information requested
For each calendar year (2016, 2017 and 2018), how many FOI requests has the Scottish Government received from the British Broadcasting Corporation?
Response
I enclose the information you requested in the Annex showing the number of FOI requests the Scottish Government has recorded for each of the BBC organisations.
You will wish to note that FOISA does not require individuals requesting information to identify whether they represent a particular organisation. Accordingly, the Scottish Government does not require this information to be recorded in our FOI tracker. The table provided contains instances where this has been logged and therefore held but we cannot confirm that the information we hold in relation to your request is both accurate and complete.
