HC Deb 15 April 1986 vol 95 c321W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell), Official Report, 27 February, column 664, how he intends to consult students whose student unions are not affiliated to the National Union of Students on the recommendations of the Scottish Tertiary Education Advisory Committee for the future funding of Scottish universities.

Mr. Allan Stewart

Student unions which are not affiliated to the National Union of Students, or which for other reasons wished to respond independently to the open invitation from my right hon. Friend the member for Ayr in his statement of 9 December 1985, at column460, were free to do so. A number did respond by 27 March, but further comments could still be considered.
