Dear Mr Bentley, 
 
Thank you for your e-mail of 18 May 2008 requesting information on how many qualified 
Home Information Pack surveyors there are currently in UK and how many qualified 
Domestic Energy Assessment surveyors there are currently in UK and if available how 
many are self employed in each case. 
 
I am considering your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and you may 
expect to receive a reply by 17 June 2008.  
 
In some circumstances a fee may be chargeable and if that is the case, I will let you know 
the likely charges before proceeding. 
 
If you have any queries regarding this letter, please contact me. Remember to quote the 
reference number above in any future communications. 
 
I am enclosing with this letter a copy of our Access to Information leaflet which explains 
how the Department handles formal requests for information.   
 
Yours sincerely
