Dear Trevor Bridge, 
 
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request of 20 March 2014. You 
asked: 
 
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and 
Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'DWP's input to the DEFRA report on 
food banks'. 
Thank you for your reply. 
 
The Act states that you should provide help and assistance to narrow a 
request if costs apply. 
 
I would be grateful if you would therefore provide some examples of how I 
may narrow my request so I would be under the cost threshold. 
 
I am only interested in any ministerial/private office comments if that helps. 
 
 
The information you requested is not held. 
 
If you have any queries about this letter please contact me quoting the 
reference number above. 
 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
 
O Gojke 
Working Age Benefits Division
