Correspondence between the Scottish Government and Huawei: FOI release

Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002


Information requested

All correspondence between the Scottish Government and Huawei from February 15 2022 to the present' (04 October 2023. 

Response

I enclose a copy of all of the information you requested.

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 an exemption(s) under section(s) s.38(1)(b) (personal information)] of FOISA applies to that information. 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 (of likewise station).

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.
