Dear [email address] on behalf of Statistical Services FoI Team,

Please make available the subject matter figures requested previously. As per your advice, to keep the cost under acceptable (statutory) limits, I request that you send only the figures from 1 January 2019, onward.

The Universal Credit Regulations 2013, S41(1) state as follows: "The Secretary of State may carry out an assessment under this Part where -". The word "must" is not in use here. Therefore, it is important to discover whether or not the Secretary of State has been fair in the application of this legislation. The only way to decide this fairly, is to place facts and figures before a jury of my peers in a court of law.

Yours sincerely,

Peter McNab
