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 'Payments to Asylum Welcome'.

The information you have provided shows that almost £1.3 million has been awarded by the Council to Asylum Welcome. However, the details of what these payments were actually for are extremely vague.

For each entry, please provide specific details regarding the purpose of the payment.

For example, you have an entry dated 03/11/2021 listed as Controlling Migration (DCLG) - £41,000.00. As presented, this information is unclear and lacks sufficient detail. Therefore, please provide a more detailed breakdown of the expenditure or an explanation of all relevant categories, such as Community Grants, Youth Ambition Programme, etc.

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

Yours faithfully,

Lucy Cavenor
