The reasons why the exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter. Reasons for not providing information Exemptions under sections s.30(b)(i) (Free and frank provision of advice) and s.29(1)(a) (Formulation or development of Scottish Government policy) of FOISA apply to some of the information you have requested.
