Response While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because of exemptions under sections 29(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy) and 30(b)(i). In addition, you may find the following discussion paper helpful: Discussion paper on impacts of air passenger duty on regional airports Reasons for not providing information Exemptions under section 29(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy) and 30(b)(i) (free and frank provision of advice) of FOISA apply to the information you have requested. An exemption under section 29(1)(a) of FOISA (formulation or development of government policy) applies to some of the information requested because it relates to the development of the Scottish Government’s policy on Air Departure Tax. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption. An exemption under section 30(b)(i) of FOISA (free and frank provision of advice) applies to the information requested.
