Dear Mr Hall, 

Further to my email below the reason why I am unable to present any specific evidence is because the law prevents me from doing so as explained below. 

The University tells whatever lies are necessary to make any complaint go away in the knowledge that do not have to substantiate anything. If they do then evidence is fabricated.

I am in the process of extracting evidence under the Freedom of Information Act 200 to force the University to hand over documents in which do not exist! This is because they cannot substantiate the lies they have told my MP.

I have a letter from the Auditor General for Wales which states that under the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004 that I am by law specifically prevented from making any inquiry or challenge as to how the University of Wales Spends its money. If I had the same rights as allowed with my local council then I would be able to provide all the information required for your intervention.

The auditors have refused to make any inquiry and again under the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004 I have no rights to compel them to do so.

Under the circumstances it is impossible for anyone to make any complaint that fits your regulations, presumably that is why they are in place? The only way these matters can be brought to light is by an inquiry. 

I am appalled that you have failed to set up a system of public accountability as required under the Second Nolan Report 1996 again I presume that is to make sure no complaint goes anywhere. That you have failed to make any comment on the matter is in my opinion a tacit admission of guilt that HEFCW has failed to comply with the law on this issue. 

As Universities are ultimately regulated by the Privy Council I have raised this matter with my MP, however as HEFCW does come under the Welsh Assembly I will bring this matter to the attention of my Assembly Member.

I will send you a copy for your files!
