Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request the following information regarding the
Nick Griffin and David Irving talk at the Oxford Union on the 26th
November 2007:

Firstly, that you release the details of the full cost of policing
the event.

Secondly, that you elicit the number of police present at the
event.

Thirdly, that someone was informed that police were authorised to
use Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994
(CJA) regarding concealing identity. If so, who authorised this?

Fourthly, whether the council, Oxford University, or police were
made aware of, or took action on, or reported, any racist incidents
occurring in the city centre on the night.

I look forward to hearing back from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Jennie Bailey

Dear Ms Bailey,

Thank you for your email and your request for information made under the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

I can confirm that Oxford City Council hold no data in regard of this
matter.

Unless you have already done so it may be worth contacting both Thames
Valley Police and the University, who are also subject to the Freedom of
Information Act, as it's possible they will hold information that would
satisfy your request.

I hope this assists, but if you disagree with any part of this response
you are entitled to ask Oxford City Council for an internal review of
the decision(s) made. You may do this by writing to The Monitoring
Officer, Oxford City Council, The Town Hall, Blue Boar Street, Oxford,
OX1 4EY. If, after the result of an internal review you are still not
satisfied you may ask the Information Commissioner to intervene on your
behalf. You may do this by writing to The Information Commissioner's
Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely,

John Evans

Information Rights & ICT Project Manager
