Information requested

Under FOI, I would like to request all documentation exchanged between the (1) First Minister and his office, and (2) Joe griffin and his office from 01 December to the date of this FOI.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not where either party have been copied to a chain of emails. This is specifically about direct communication between the offices. If you take the view that this would be above the cost limit, please tell me the number of instances that this communication has occurred so I can round down a time frame.”
