Dear Sir or Madam,I regret that you are unable to assist in this
matter though I cant understand why.The decision to grant a licence
to introduce beaver if made without any information was grossly
irresponsible. The Minister surely based his decision on some sort
of risk assessment. I therefore ask for the information upon which
the Minister based his decision.

Yours sincerely,

Alexander Hamilton

Dear Sir or Madam,I find that you have still to answer the
specifics of my question

Yours faithfully,

Alexander Hamilton

Dear Mr Hamilton

I'm not sure which question you refer to. My colleague Claire Turnbull
in her response to your request for information, stated that the
Parliament does not hold the information on which the Minister made his
decision to introduce beavers. Rather, you should submit an information
request to the Scottish Government, which the Minister is a member of,
which is responsible for the decision to reintroduce beavers to
Scotland, and which is run as a body independent of the Scottish
Parliament. The Scottish Government is also listed as a separate body in
the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act.

Contact details via which you can submit a request to the Scottish
Government can be found on the following web page:
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/about/foi

You can of course submit a request via the "What Do They Know" page for
the Scottish Government here:

Kind regards

Steven Tallach
FOI Officer
Scottish Parliament
