Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 July 2021. It occurred during Debate on bill on Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill.
Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill
It is the right hon. Gentleman. I agree totally about freedom of speech, which is one of the best things about this country and one that I am proud of, but what data is the Secretary of State using? If he looks at the Office for Students’ data for 2017-18, he will see that the instances he referred to amount to 0.009%. In an entire year, there were 17 cases among more than 500 academic institutions. What data is he basing his claims on?
