Investments in Arms Companies
Dear Lancaster University,
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.
Yours faithfully,
Tabs Noreen

Dear Tabs Noreen,
Within your request you have indicated that the scope of “arms trade companies” to be
considered relates to the list of companies provided but is “not limited to” this
list. The University does not have a means by which to classify companies as ‘arms
trade companies’ within its systems and therefore it would require a subjective
assessment to categorise companies the University may have invested in or had shared
projects with. As such, when processing your request the University would only be able
to consider the companies you have listed. We would be grateful if you could confirm
whether you wish to proceed with your request on this basis. We will be unable to
process it without your clarification.
Yours sincerely
Information Governance Team
The University aims to comply fully with its obligations under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and to ensure that the service it provides for those wishing to
gain access to information is helpful and effective.
The personal information you have supplied will be used only to process your request;
some details will be retained for our records after the request has been answered.
Only staff who are involved in processing your request will have access to this
information and this information will not be passed on to other parties unrelated to
the University unless we are required to do so by law, or where it would be necessary
to answer the request in full (in which case we would seek your consent for any
transfer).
