Expenditure on travel and subsistence cards – On 13 April 2013, Mr Andrew Picken asked the Scottish Ministers (the Ministers) for expenditure on travel and subsistence cards by Scottish Government ministers, excluding the First Minister, since 2007. The Ministers did not respond to this request. Following a review, the Ministers disclosed some information but withheld the names of the accommodation in which Ministers had stayed. Mr Picken remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, during which the Ministers disclosed more information, the Commissioner required the Ministers to disclose the withheld information (the names of hotels) to Mr Picken.
