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 FOI Requests'.

Thank you for your response of 12 February 2024.

Can you provide an explanation as to why the salary expenditure increased by over 40 percent from ~112K to ~157K between 01/01/2022 and 01/01/2023? This seems a very large increase and deserves an explanation.

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

Yours faithfully,
