HC Deb 12 March 1991 vol 187 c443W
26. Mr. Douglas

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the responses which have been received from students' organisations and Scottish universities with regard to the future of students' unions.

Mr. Alan Howarth

I have received a number of responses to my letter of 29 November 1990. As the consultations are still in progress, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.
