Dear Oxford City Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Oxford City Council's handling of my FOI request 'Cost of Afghan Refugees'.

You have not answered my questions. I wanted details and breakdown of total expenditure by the Council.

You say that these families are "valued members of our community". That statement is somewhat subjective. As a hard working taxpayer I would consider these families a financial and potentially social burden..

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

Dear Oxford City Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Oxford City Council's handling of my FOI request 'Cost of Afghan Refugees'.

I did not ask for expenditure from Home Office grant funding.

I explicitly requested total expenditure by Oxford City Council which was to include any central government funding.
