§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how many comments he has received on his proposals for the reform of student unions; and how many have expressed their opposition to the proposals.
§ Mr. BoswellSince my right hon. Friend announced his proposals for student union reform on 1 July, he has received some 1,265 written representations in response to the consultations on implementation. Comments have also been received in meetings and visits. Many comments have questioned particular aspects of the implementation of the reforms, while passing others in silence; others have similarly expressed support for particular points and for the principles which underlie the reforms.
