Freedom of Information Request
Reference: FOI 101007727825

Dear Applicant,

Please consider this as our formal response to your information request which
was logged under the above reference number and treated as a request made under
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000.

Can you confirm that you are taking in African refugees under the Government's
full dispersal scheme? I understand that all council authorities are required to
take these people in and note with interest that this definitely has been
happening on some scale nationwide. With massive estates such as Brinnington and
Adswood there should surely be newly arrived immigrants being given housing.
