HC Deb 17 March 1975 vol 888 c313W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will consider advising the appropriate authorities as to a desirable maximum percentage increase in student union fees for the year 1975–76.

Mr. Prentice:

Student unions are organised and financed in a variety of ways. In general, university and college authorities are responsible for settling the union subscription. Before any action could be taken there would have to be consultation with those concerned. I am very much aware of the issues involved.
