Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act please provide me with any
correspondence (internal and external) surrounding studies on the
environmental impact of reusable and disposable nappies.

In particular I would like the most recent drafts of any reports
produced and any instructions as to how the reports should be
released.

Thank you for your assistance

Yours faithfully,

James Snowdome
