Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-27624 by Kate Forbes on 10 March 2020, which information is specifically "commercially sensitive”.
Answer
Information stored on the electronic Property Information Mapping System (ePIMS) which is classed as commercially sensitive includes all information relating to the leases between Scottish Government and its landlords. Lease information includes rent, duration, size of accommodation, rent review and break options, landlord and tenant obligations etc. Releasing lease information publicly could be detrimental to future lease negotiations.
