Investments in Arms Companies
Dear University of Wolverhampton,
I am writing to formally request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Specifically, I would like to request the following details:
Which military and defence companies does the university currently hold investments in?
- This includes, but is not limited to, companies such as Airbus, Babcock International, BAE Systems, Boeing, Chemring, Elbit Systems, General Dynamics, General Electric, Honeywell, Huntington Ingalls, JCB, L3Harris Technologies, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Meggitt, Northrop Grumman, QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce PLC, RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies), Smiths Group and Thales.
What is the total value of these investments and how much is invested in each company?
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request. If you need any clarification on any part of my request, then please contact me using this email address.
Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the twentieth working day. If for any reason you are not able to fulfil all parts of my request, please respond to those that you can respond to, setting out your reasons for not responding to the entire request.
Should you require any clarification or further details regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me via email. I am more than willing to discuss and refine the request as needed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
