Information requested
A copy of the minutes from the meeting held between Nicola Sturgeon MSP and David Sproule on 20 March 2017 and all correspondence relating to this meeting.
Response
I enclose a copy of most of the information you requested in the format you asked for. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance a small amount of information has been redacted because exemptions under sections: 33(1)(b) (commercial interests), and 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why those exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter.
