In reply to an FOI inquiry in January 2009 regarding his membership of the AEF, the University of Leeds replied stating that, " Professor Hill...confirmed that he has no personal arrangements with the Forum or the companies you mention under the University’s arrangements for its staff to undertake a limited amount of personal consultancy. His recollection is that some years ago he was invited to be listed amongst a collection of fellow academics working from different perspectives on issues of concern to him. He has not entered into any financial relationship with the Forum or indeed been approached for such purposes." [4]
