HC Deb 08 April 1986 vol 95 c41W
16. Mr. Robert B. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has called for reports on recent violations of free speech at Bradford university, Oriel college, Oxford, Bristol polytechnic, Bristol university and Sunderland polytechnic; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walden

My right hon. Friend has obtained a report in each of these instances. The authorities of higher education institutions are well aware of his concern that they should show their determination to safeguard freedom of speech.
