Figures for the number of under 25s on housing benefits in Holborn and Covent Garden

The request was successful.

Dear Camden Borough Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I seek the following information:

1. The exact number of people under the age of 25 currently
claiming housing benefits in Camden.

2. The exact number of people under the age of 25 who claimed housing benefits in Camden from 2007-2011.

3. The exact number of people under the age of 25 currently
claiming housing benefits in Holborn and Covent Garden ward.

4. The exact number of people under the age of 25 who claimed housing benefits in Holborn and Covent Garden ward from 2007-2011.

If the decision is made to withhold some of this data using exemptions in the Data Protection Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.

If some parts of this request are easier to answer than others, I would ask that you release the available data as soon as possible.

If you need any clarification then please do not hesitate to contact me. Under Section 16 it is your duty to provide advice and assistance and so I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you within the 20-working day statutory time period.

Yours faithfully,

Matthew Lambert

Kate Loomer, Camden Borough Council
