Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Education on student society statements praising Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

As the Education Secretary made clear in her statement to Parliament on 2 March, universities should be places of open discussion and dialogue, where views should be challenged and questioned. But there is no place for hate speech or intimidation on campus.

That is why on 8 March, the Government announced stronger protections for university students and staff against extremism, harassment and intimidation on campus.
