Dear Mr.Lighfoot,

Re: Freedom of Information Request, Oxford City Council – Reference: 11841

Thank you for your email .

Unfortunately the Council does not hold the information you require.

The only hotel within our district is managed by the Home Office.

I recommend you redirect your enquiry to The Home Office, who are responsible for contingency accommodation for asylum seekers in Oxford city, and nationally, via email to [email address], as I believe they will be better placed to answer your request.

Yours sincerely,

Freedom of Information Officer
