Dear Department for Transport,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with my enquiries, I
am outlining my query as specifically as possible:

I would like to receive all information detailing any
correspondence or meetings between the Department for Transport and
Rt Hon Stephen Byers MP between 1 August 2008 to 30 July 2009. This
includes but is not limited to meetings with Lord Andrew Adonis,
Christopher Mole MP and Sadiq Khan MP.

I would be interested in any information held by your organisation
regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify
particular files or documents and that it is the department's
responsibility to provide the information I require. If you require
further clarification with regards to the information required,
please contact me by e-mail.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I would ask that you
justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the
act. I will also expect you to release all non-exempt material
available. I reserve the right to appeal your decision to withhold
any information or to charge excessive fees.

I would also be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you
have received this request. I look forward to your response within

Dear Mr Spencer,

Unfortunately, the copies of the correspondence that I sent to you

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Kind regards
