Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with how many Vice Chancellors he had had discussions on the matter of freedom of speech as of February 2020.

Since coming into post in 2021, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has had wide ranging discussions with individual and groups of Vice-Chancellors, representatives from higher education representative groups, leading academics, and others. It is not possible to enumerate those discussions which covered freedom of speech.
