Dear Sir or Madam,
Further to the information below [1] can you please email me an
electronic copy of:
1) Who in connection with each of the regional strategic migration
partnerships or member local authority has been tasked with
preparing the proposal/response for UKBA.
1.1) How much money have you been advised on, concerning the costs
of replacing/back filling for the person involved in doing the
work.
2) A summary of what work has been done on the proposal packs.
2.1) Copies of any proposal documentation shared with
anyone/organisation outside of the UKBA.
3) The final or current version of the specification produced by
and or with the West Midlands.
Reference:
[1] email "* By mid-April seek details from Regional Strategic
Migration Partnerships as to who would be tasked with preparing the
proposal/response for UKBA. We would also need to know the cost of
replacing/back filling for the person involved in doing the work.
We are still looking at a number of authorities - Glasgow,
Liverpool, NW Consortium (based on Manchester). NE Consortium
(based on Newcastle and surrounding authorities), Yorkshire and
Humberside, Wales, East Midlands, West Midlands and East of England
becoming involved as specialist authorities with the Gateway
Authorities of Kent, Hillingdon, Croydon and West Sussex becoming
involved at the front end of the UASC process.
* By end-April, UKBA complete the work on the proposal packs -
including advice on what costs should be included, how any caveats
should be set out. Finalise the specification with West Midlands."

Please ensure that any of your general correspondence,
acknowledgements or holding letters etc are included or
cut-and-pasted into the body of the email messages, using plain
text, rather than as attachments. As this will mean your
correspondence is much easier to access, read and respond to.

original unrestricted format such as:
a. MS Word .doc or Rich Text Text .rtf format or equivalent
(suitable for disclosure of email messages)
b.Spreadsheets in MS Excel .xls format or equivalent
c.Presentations in MS Powerpoint .ppt format or equivalent

above formats are available
if you only have a paper version (hard copy) available, please
provide a Digital Photo Copier Scanned version in PDF format. If
you do provide disclosures in PDF from a Digital Photo Copier Scan,
please state that you have done so because no other format, such as

please ensure that the rest of text based information remains
accessible to a Screen Reader.
<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader>
Please ensure any electronic disclosures are absolutely free of any
Document limitations or controls, such as making them Read-only,
Encrypted or Password restricted, as this is likely to render them
less usable on a general basis and more specifically, inaccessible
to Assistive Technology.

such as .zip.
Providing correspondence and disclosed information via these means
will help ensure that text based information is accessible for use
with a Screen Reader or a Magnifier for none text based information
and will prevent any further and separate representations under the
Disability Discrimination Act. If you are unable to meet these
reasonably practicable accessibility requests please state why and
provide a copy of any internal information, such as a policy relied
upon that would explain such a decision.
Yours faithfully,
Cassidy, J
