Dear Sirs

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

I am writing to you regarding your letter dated 12 December 2025, making a request for personal information on behalf of your client, David Steven A Jenkins.

I appreciate that this will be disappointing for your client. However, National Records Scotland will respond to you directly to inform you of the results of the search of their records and may be also in the position to provide details of other public bodies who may hold information relating to your request.

If you are not happy with this outcome and wish to make a complaint, please contact the Scottish Government’s Data Protection Officer in the first instance
