The list of things that can be bought using petty cash is so hedged about that sadly, people buying things on Faculty business usually end up having to pay for them themselves and claim the money back. We have had discussions about this in the past, but failed to find a better solution; it's particularly problematic because more often than not the people who could best afford to be £50 out of pocket are the ones who are far too busy to go and spend it.
