Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested.
An exemption under section s.38(1) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. This section of FOISA applies because it is concerned with the personal data of third parties. In this case, this also relates to details of Scottish Government officials (below the position of Director) and external correspondents.
This exemption is not subject to the 'public interest test', so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
