Dear Mr Norman

The University does not hold the information requested. Colleges are separate legal entities to the University, and public authorities in their own right under the Freedom of Information Act. If you wish to pursue your request, you will need to approach the colleges direct. You can find a list of college websites in the top right hand corner of the front page of the University’s website: http://www.ox.ac.uk/. Each college website should contain an address to which you can send your request.

Yours sincerely
