Your new FOI is now being considered.

We would be grateful for one point of clarification.

Your original request related to ad-hoc Advocate Deputes.

This request refers to "a list of all advocates deputues"

Are you seeking information on core Advocate Deputes; or as your original request only ad-hoc Advocate Deputes; or both?

When we receive this further information from you we will be able to respond to your request, in accordance with FOISA, within 20 working days of when we receive that information.

Thank you.

Dear Mr James

I refer to my email of 27 September 2019 about your request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) for a list of all advocates deputes appointed in the last 8 years, their names, the date of their commission, the recruitment process carried out, or if they were appointed by the law officers, the number of days they have served and the payments made to then for each year, the date they ceased appointment.

The crucial points are the date of appointment and their names.

Under section 10(1) of FOISA, our response to your request is due on 25 October 2019 Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request. I apologise for this delay and hope to be able to send you a response by 21 November 2019

Yours sincerely
