Question
To ask the Scottish Government for what reason it has not published information on ministerial engagements, travel and gifts since April 2021.
Answer
Engagements and events are an essential part of official government business. Ordinarily, the Scottish Government will routinely publish this information online. However during the Covid response it has been necessary to reprioritise staff resources to support the Covid recovery and the publication schedule has been delayed.
The Scottish Government are working hard to address this and anticipate that transparency data publication will return to normal mid-December.
