Planned legislation to make membership of United Kingdom students' unions voluntary may be abandoned in autumn 1993, according to an education specialist from the Conservative Party. The legislation would be opposed by the House of Lords and by vice chancellors, and would be seen as an attack on the independence of universities. Official sources would neither confirm nor deny reports that the measure may be shelved, but the indications are that there will not be enough time for such legislation to be passed.
