Hi Andrew,

 

I refer to your request under the Official Information Act 1982 “I am
conducting research into the taxation of hybrid and electric vehicles. I
would like access to all background papers and ministerial papers relating
to this topic“.

 

I am contacting you to seek clarification as the scope of what you have
requested is very broad.

 

Given your request relates to some recent changes that have been made to
the taxation of hybrid and electric vehicles, would you agree to limit the
scope of your request to the last three months?

 

If you could please respond at your earliest convenience that would be
appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

James
