Every request for information which the Scottish Executive receives is handled in accordance with the Act. In general requests for information are handled routinely and are not all recorded or counted centrally. However some requests are recorded centrally.
Requests for information are treated, for the purposes of the Act, as applicant "neutral" as to source and purpose of the request. Public authorities are not, therefore, required to monitor sources of requests. However, as a body with an interest in the implementation and use of the Act, the Executive is monitoring, where it is notified, the sources of requests to the Executive. We do, therefore hold information on centrally recorded requests from MSPs, staff of MSPs or staff of the Scottish Parliament where the applicant has clearly identified themselves as an MSP, staff of MSPs or staff of the Scottish Parliament.
