Sam Gyimah holds a summit on free speech.
It is with some reluctance that we return to the topic of free speech in universities. Following the publication of a definitive report by a joint committee of the Commons and Lords, the quality of conversation on this topic should be better than it is.
However, yesterday saw something of a logorrhoea on the topic of free speech, starting with the universities minister Sam Gyimah. Before a roundtable on free speech in the afternoon, the minister published an article in The Times with the title: “The time I was almost censored on campus.”
