"Sight of all documents containing advice regards these appointments , as sent to you or to CALMAC and between your offices and from your officials; to include all submissions to you about the appointment; the skills which were sought amongst applicants; the matrix or weighting to be applied to each; and whether specific consideration was given by Scottish Ministers to the foresaid Parliamentary Petition and the committees work on it."
Response
A separate response will be issued to you covering the questions you raise on island representation on boards and the appointments/reappointments process.
I enclose a copy of some of the of the information you requested concerning advice about reappointments and submissions. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some the information you have requested because exemptions under section(s) s.38 (1) (b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The Scottish Government do not hold a matrix or weighting for the skills required for the reappointments to the board of David MacBrayne Ltd. and so Section 17(1) of FOISA applies.
