§ Mr. Michael Forsythasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further representations he has had on introducing voluntary membership of student unions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BrookeSince I replied to my hon. Friend on 22 January, at column 375, around a dozen representations on this subject have been received from hon. Members and from student organisations. As was stated in another place on 6 February, at column 1059, by my noble Friend the Earl of Swinton, the Government propose to consult higher education interests about student unions. In doing so they will take into account the representations they have received.
