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? And why?

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
