Response
How many Freedom of Information Requests BBC Scotland submit to the Scottish Government each year.
The information you have requested is detailed in the table below. For the purposes of this request we have include FOI requests received from both BBC Scotland and BBC Scotland News:
Year Number of FOI requests 2008 8 2009 3 2010 8 2011 2 2012 0 2013 1 2014 2 2015 13 2016 20 2017 (to 19 Dec) 11
Overall or average cost associated with handling these requests.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have asked for. This is because although requests are considered under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA), they are allocated to the policy area responsible for that topic, and answered accordingly by an appropriate official as part of their normal duties. Officials are not required to record what proportion of their time is spend handling requests for information and therefore we do not hold a figure for the overall or average cost associated with handling these requests.
In addition, the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested in relation to FOI requests received by the Scottish Parliament. We can only provide an answer for requests made to the Scottish Government. However, you may wish to contact the Scottish Parliament at foi.officer@parliament.scot who may be able to help you.
This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested.
