me- -- Sent Wednesday, April 8, 2020 1:02 PM TO: -- Subject: Review - 202000018768 - Lily Christine Richards Good afternoon Ms Richards, I hope you are keeping well during this difficult time. In response to your question below, I have consulted the appropriate Marine Scotland business area and associated colleagues. They have stipulated that it is not normal practice to keep written records of meetings between the Cabinet Secretary and the fish farm companies, because the parties attending these meetings do not consider it necessary. Kind regards Murdo MacLeod Enforcement Manager Marine Scotland -- Compliance Marine Scotland 1A North \ficioria Quay Leiil'i EH6 6QQ w: Sent: 06 April 2020 13:22 To: Central Enquiry Unit Subject: Re: Review - 202000018768 For the Attention of Mr Murdo MacLeod Dear Mr McLeod Thank you for your response in respect of a review on the above. However, I should be extremely grateful for clarification of the following: Apart from the three documents mentioned which are internal communications, it would seem extremely surprising as to the lack of any notes or minutes of the bulk of these meetings. Could you please, therefore confirm whether or not it was normal practice to keep written records of meetings between the Cabinet Secretary and the fish farm companies and, if not, why not? I look forward to your response in due course. Thank you for your assistance, Yours sincerely Lily Christine Richards From- -- Sent-Thursday, March 19, 2020 5:45 PM Subject: Review -- 202000018768 Good evening Ms Richards, Please find attached the review of the previous reply sent to you on 31/01/20, Apologies for the slight delay, Kind regards Murdo MacLeod MS's second response, following request for a review of first response MS’s first response ***************************************************** ***************** This e-mail (and any files or other attachments transmitted with it) is intended solely for the attention of the addressee(s).
