§ 43. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will introduce measures to remove the right of student unions to spend funds allocated to them from public money in the advancing of political ends.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThis is a matter to be locally determined by parent institutions and local authorities in relation to the responsibilities and resources they entrust to student unions.
Such arrangements might cover support for common services such as student clubs, including even-handed support for student political clubs. Officers of unions who incurred expenditure for political purposes not properly covered by the rules of their institution might well be personally liable.
