Lord Sainsbury said:

"I am pleased & honoured to have been elected as the next Chancellor of Cambridge University, and would like to thank all those who have supported me, and the other candidates who have made this such a friendly election. I am particularly pleased that the election did not turn into a battle between the arts & humanities and science, or between political parties, and I look forward to championing the University in its entirety at home and abroad in the years ahead."
