Information requested
To see to all reports submitted by Rocket Science to Scottish Government to date which relate to the research commissioned by the Scottish Government on the prevalence and impact of vigils and/or protests which occur outside abortion centres in Scotland.
Response
I have included extracts from some reports within Annex B of this letter. In addition, you may wish to note that Rocket Science is currently finalising both a literature review and an interim ‘year 1’ report on their research. These reports are not yet complete, but we will send you a copy once they are finalised and ready for dissemination.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections 27(2) (research), 30(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) and 38(1)(b) (personal data) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why these exemptions apply is in Annex A of this letter.
