Response
The Scottish Police Authority has considered your request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA).
The decision has been reviewed by an independent reviewer who was not involved in the original decision-making process.
We can confirm that the original decision is upheld for the following reasons.
The Authority has already explained why we would not hold this information and directed the applicant to authorities which may hold information.
It is, therefore, considered that the Authority has complied with the requirements of the Act in terms of the original response and the duty to assist.
