On 2 September 2015, Mr Kane asked the Scottish Ministers (the Ministers) for a list of all meetings between any Scottish Government Minister or official and any representative of Edinburgh Airport, including details of participants and the reason for meeting, from 10 May 2011 until 1 September 2015. Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Ministers, informed Mr Kane that it would cost in excess of pounds 600 to respond to his request and so, by virtue of section 12 of FOISA, the Ministers were not required to comply with it. After review, Mr Kane remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the Ministers had properly responded to Mr Kane’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA.
