Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I am writing to request the following:

1.) Any memoranda, emails or minutes of meetings used to decide which authorities or institutions should be consulted regarding proposed changes to the Child Poverty Act 2010 announced in the House of Commons on 1 July 2015 by the Rt. Hon Iain Duncan Smith between 1 January 2015 and 1 July 2015 inclusive.

2.) Any memoranda, emails or minutes of meetings used to decide which authorities or institutions should be consulted regarding proposed changes to the Child Poverty Act 2010 announced in the House of Commons on 1 July 2015 by the Rt. Hon Iain Duncan Smith between 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2015 inclusive.

3.) Any memoranda, emails or minutes of meetings used to decide which authorities or institutions should be consulted regarding proposed changes to the Child Poverty Act 2010 announced in the House of Commons on 1 July 2015 by the Rt.

Should the above taken as a whole exceed the costs limit for FOI requests I ask that you respond sequentially to each of the requests made in ascending order until such a threshold is met.

Many thanks for your time and look forward to the kind of swift,
