Maths entrance papers prior to 1996

Waiting for an internal review by University of Oxford of their handling of this request.

Dear University of Oxford,

Please send all held maths entrance papers prior to 1992. 1992-1995 are found here http://www.mathshelper.co.uk/oxb.htm , and I suspect any former ones will be in a similar format, if this would assist in locating them. I am particularly interested in the remainder of this paper " http://www.mathshelper.co.uk/Oxford%20Ad... " of which only three questions have been found. However, please send all the papers you can find.

Please include the following information in addition to the papers held,
-For what range of years were these tests issued?
-How many years are stored
-For the papers that cannot be found, please explain whether they have been destroyed or not, otherwise suggest another public authority whom I should request them from.

Yours faithfully,

James Lambert

Dear FOI,

It seems odd to me that entrance papers would no longer be held, can you explain what exactly happened to them? Were they discarded entirely, lost, or given to another public authority?

Yours sincerely,

James Lambert

Dear FOI,
Has the university received this clarification request? If so do they understand that the 20 days deadline expires very soon?
