The Cabinet Office refused to release any information relating to Jamie Hepburn, left, or independence spending by the Scottish GovernmentTHE Cabinet Office has refused to “confirm or deny” what information it holds regarding the role of the Minister for Independence or related spending by the Scottish Government.
As well as Hepburn’s role as Minister for Independence, the Scottish Government is compiling a series of white papers on independence in the Building a New Scotland series. The FOI response, after an internal review due to an initial refusal to disclose information, reads: “I maintain that the Cabinet Office neither confirms nor denies that it holds information you have requested.”
“If a confirmation or denial was given under the Act, this would reveal whether the Cabinet Secretary had or had not received correspondence on this particular topic.”
