Policy on family contact and access to postage stamps – Mr R requested from the Scottish Prison Service (the SPS) information about the SPS’s documented policies on family contact and access to postage stamps. The SPS replied, stating that it did not hold any information covered by the terms of Mr R’s request. The SPS provided some information which it did not consider to be policy, but which it believed to be relevant to Mr R’s request. Following a review, Mr R remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
After an investigation, the Commissioner found that the SPS had dealt with Mr R’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA, by giving notice that it did not hold any information falling within the scope of Mr R’s request. She did not require the SPS to take any action.
