Subject: Official Information request - Money Spent on Polling and Focus
Grouos

 

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

I would like to know how much money the Labour government has spent on
public polls/focus groups of both voting intention and around specific
policy ideas, since they took office in late 2017.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Huw Morgan
