You asked

Could you please give me a list of all busts, statues, artwork and artefacts that have been removed from your premises since January 2020? Could you also provide me with the reason given for each of these removals along with the date each was removed? My request is about permanent removals relating to reasons of historical or political insensitivity so not temporary removals for repairs or those items which were sold.
