answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>Much of the legal advice given to the Department in connection with cases relating to the release of information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is provided by the Department's own directly employed legal advisers. No records are kept which would allow us separately to identify the cost of internal advice on Freedom of Information Act matters.</p><p>Where appropriate, the Department also obtains external litigation services in connection with such cases by instructing the Treasury Solicitor's Department. It would be very difficult to identify from the information held by the Department in respect of payments for external legal services, payments in respect of cases relating to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The costs of trying to collate this information for each of the past 5 years would be disproportionate.</p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 14/07/2014 16:05:03 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
