HC Deb 20 October 1992 vol 212 c267W
29. Mr. Riddick

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will make a statement on the future of student unions and the National Union of Students.

Mr. Forman

My right hon. Friend has said that the Government will bring forward proposals to establish the voluntary principle as the basis for student union membership. I shall be having further discussions with representatives of the educational institutions and other interested parties about how this will be achieved.
