On 16 October 2014, Mr Forbes asked Transport Scotland for information which would show the content and detail of any discussions between the Scottish Government and Network Rail on the subject of the refurbishment of Prestwick Airport Station. Transport Scotland failed to respond and Mr Forbes asked for a review. Following a review, in which Transport Scotland disclosed some information, but withheld other information, Mr Forbes remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that Transport Scotland had properly responded to Mr Forbes’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA and the EIRs. The Commissioner accepted that information was correctly withheld under regulation 10(5)(f) of the EIRs and that Transport Scotland had identified all the information it held that fell within the scope of the request.
