The request was successful.

From: Guy Freeman

21 July 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000, the following information:

* The cost to date of allowing the "Life in the UK" test that you
administer to be taken in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic, due to, for
example, fees for translating the questions into Welsh and Scottish
Gaelic;

* The predicted or projected number of test takers who would opt to
take the test in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic when the preparations for
the test were initially undertaken, along with any other predicted
numbers of Welsh or Scottish Gaelic test takers as time went on;

* Any correspondence, minutes of meetings, reports, consultations
or other documents where the practicality, logistics, desirability
and/or other considerations concerning the provision of the "Life
in the UK" test in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic was discussed.

I hope my request is clear, and please don't hesitate to get in
touch if it is now.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Guy Freeman
