Detected exemption language
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 exemptions under sections 29(1)(a) (Formulation or Development of Scottish Government Policy), s29(1)(b) (Advice of the Law Officers) and s38(1)(b) (Personal Data Relating to a Third Party). Reasons for not providing information An exemption applies. An exemption under section 38(1)(b) (Personal Data Relating to a Third Party) of FOISA applies to a small amount of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. An exemption applies, subject to the public interest test.
