Government to revise 'CU vetting' guidance

Printer-friendly version

The government has responded to concerns over the impact of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill on 'freedom of expression' in universities by introducing a new clause into the Bill and promising to re-draft proposed guidance.

Academics and members of the House of Lords (such as former MI5 chief, Baroness Manningham-Buller, pictured) had raised concerns, as had many Christians who were particularly concerned by the implications for Christian Union groups.
