Annual leave entitlements for staff

Request 

Dear colleague,

I recently submitted an FoI request on arrangements for academic and administrative staff. Unfortunately my email account was deleted and I have been unable to recover it so am submitting my request again – my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. I was seeking information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on:

1)     annual leave entitlements for academic staff and annual leave entitlements for administrative staff;

2)    research and/or scholarly activity leave entitlements for academic staff, and for administrative staff;

3)    external examining and/or moderation roles outside the employing institution for academic staff and for administrative staff;

4)    access to the employing institution’s own doctorates or equivalent for academic staff and for administrative staff and what fee might be payable by academic staff and by administrative staff.

I should be grateful if this information might be provided electronically.
