The Ministers were asked about grants and loans to Scottish Rugby. The Ministers disclosed some information, but the Applicant believed the Ministers held more information. He was also unhappy with the time taken to respond and with the way the Ministers informed him of his appeal rights. The Commissioner found that the Ministers had failed to comply fully with FOISA in responding to the request. They had not identified all the information falling within the request when the request was received, had responded late and failed to inform the Applicant of his appeal rights appropriately.
