Sith’s Wilf and Gordon’s New Policies
From: Guido Fawkes
To: FoI Unit HM Treasury
7 February, 2007
Dear Sirs,
This is an FoI request concerning an email sent by Wilf Stevenson, of the Smith Institute, last month to a number of persons based at at HM Treasury. The email was also addressed to staff at some leading think-tanks including the the Smith Institute, IPPR and Demos. In it I understand that Wilf Stevenson explained that Gordon Brown was interested in gathering in policy ideas for his administration and that he would like to co-ordinate this activity.
I believe that Ed Balls and John Healey were also recipients of the email.
The activities of the Smith Institute with regard to policy formulation at HM Treasury are of great public interest. Please could you, in the first instance, provide me with a copy of this email and any other emails sent by Wilf Stevenson to persons based at HM Treasury.
Regards,
Guido Fawkes Esq.
