HC Deb 06 December 1977 vol 940 cc626-7W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will require the Commission for Racial Equality under Section 48 of the Race Relations Act 1976 to conduct an investigation into racial discrimination in students' unions in universities and polytechnics against Jewish students and others.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

No, but I join my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science in welcoming the policy adopted by the National Union of Students towards student unions which denied democratic rights to their members.
