Dear Jenna,
Thank you for your request, please find the information below. Please note
that the Freedom of Information Act allows access to records so we have
supplied only the information contained on the records relevant to your
request. For instance for gifts, we do not insist on the value of the gift
being provided, particularly if it is refused. With respect to gifts, the
Gifts and Hospitality Policy has been written primarily with capturing
those offers that have been accepted so we do not necessarily have an
exhaustive list of refused gifts but it is what we have as recorded
information.
We have no record of any donation, grant or research funding refusal
throughout the requested years. These are a list of gifts that have been
refused in the years requested (we are yet to receive our annual return of
gift declarations for 16/17 and our academic year of 17/18 begins in
September 17’):
