- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant made an information request on 9 March 2009 for “all correspondence and documents regarding the meeting this February of the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, with the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton”. The public authority provided most of the information it held but withheld the small remainder, relying on sections 27, 28 and 35 of the Act to do so. After considering the withheld information the Commissioner’s decision is that the information was correctly withheld by virtue of sections 27 and 28 of the Act.
