The Government is considering forcing universities to protect free speech, after a series of incidents in which student unions have banned events, including several organised by pro-life societies.
The Times has reported that Jo Johnson, the minister for higher education, has written to all UK universities reminding them that they have a “legal duty” to protect freedom of speech.
Johnson said university premises must not be “denied to any individual or body on any grounds connected with their beliefs or views, policy or objective”.
