Subject: Official Information request - Request for copy of Welfare Expert Advisory Group Interim report

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

On behalf of Child Poverty Action Group I am officially requesting to be supplied a copy of the Interim report by the Welfare Expert Advisory Group (as provided to Government authorities) ahead of the official and final report being released.

This information is required by CPAG's research committee for research purposes, and to inform other work we are doing.

It is notable that there has been no public feedback process for the WEAG Interim report that was expected to be received by Government in October 2018.

Yours faithfully,

Jenifer Cartwright
Communications Advisor
Child Poverty Action Group
