Dear Mr Paterson,

 

Please see response below to your FOI dated 08/11/19 - Information
regarding delivery of vessels 801 and 802: latest position

 

In accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002 (FOISA), this information is not held. Please note the recent
statement (02/12) from the Economy Secretary, Derek McKay with regards to
an update on the latest position for delivery for vessels 801 & 802:
 [1]https://www.gov.scot/news/ferguson-marin...

 

‘Establishing a revised timetable for the completion of the two ferries
also remains one of the main tasks for the management at the yard and I
will give an update on the schedule and cost for delivery of the two
ferries as soon as possible’.

 

Under FOISA you have the right to request a review of the way in which
your request has been processed. Should you wish to exercise that right,
you will need to contact us within 40 working days of receipt of this
letter. If you remain dissatisfied on completion of the review, you have
the right to appeal to the Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner
(SIC) and thereafter to the Court of Session on a point of law only. The
contact details for the SIC are:

Dear FOI,

Thank you for your response to my FOI request. However, it is unsatisfactory and I am requesting an internal review. The name and position of the person carrying out the review should be notified to me as soon as possible. The review must be carried out by a different and more senior person than responded to my original request.

I note also that CMAL have used the maximum amount of time, up to the legal backstop, before notifying me that no information is held. I view this as an abuse of FOISA. FOISA requires requests to be replied to as promptly as possible.

I note also that you have referred me to government statements. If I wanted a response from the government I would have contacted them directly. CMAL and not the government are the contracting party in this case.

I believe information that falls into the scope of my request is held by CMAL. It would be difficult to believe that an organisation that had entered into a contract for nearly £100 million and already made partial payments under the contract of over £80 million does not hold any information on the delivery of the product.

Please acknowledge my request for internal review and provide details of the reviewer.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Paterson

Dear Mr Paterson,

 

I write in regard to your recent request for a review  (dated 06 December)
of the response sent to you by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to explain that our initial response
was sent in good faith and that it was a misinterpretation of your
requirement for ‘latest position’ and ‘latest delivery dates’ for vessels
801 and 802. 

 

As you can appreciate that with the current circumstances we have been
subjected to a large volume of FOI requests, which are not only in regard
to FMEL, hulls 801 or 802.

We always endeavour to meet our statutory obligations under FOISA 2002,
which I am sure you are aware of.

 

Having carried out an internal review, I attach the last 5 redacted
correspondences relating to delivery dates.  We currently await the latest
delivery dates of hulls 801 & 802.

 

Under FOISA, as your request and request for review have been processed,
should you remain dissatisfied your recourse is to appeal to the Scottish
Information Commissioner as outlined in our response to your request for
review dated 06 December 2019.

 

Best Regards,

Leis gach deagh dhùrachd,

 

Richie Morgan
