Dear Sir or Madam,

the Freedom of Information Act -

For the following questions, please provide answers for each
financial year, starting from 2000/1 and ending with 2008/9,

1) Please will you confirm whether the services of the consultants
Kendrick Ash (I understand that this company has been taken over by
Northgate now so please include them in your answer since the
takeover if appropriate) were engaged by the Housing Benefits
Service?

2) Please can you provide a brief summary of the key tasks carried
out, for each financial year if they varied?

3) Please will you provide year by year figures for the total
amounts paid to Kendrick Ash for these services?

separately), please can you confirm whether the services of any
