§ 40. Mr Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will seek to ensure that university students in receipt of grants and who so desire may opt out of their contribution to the National Union of Students.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsNo. Students normally become members of the N.U.S. through the affiliation of their university union. It is a matter for the members of each university union to decide whether or not their union should be affiliated to the National Union of Students.
