I detect a scent of conspiracy theory. I am not aware of circumstances in which a university has set its face against the students' union and refused to recognise it. My colleagues are nodding very sagaciously. Perhaps they will take the opportunity to put an instance on the record. I am not aware of it happening.

According to the definition in the Bill, "student union", in regard to an institute or technological university, "means the student union or other student representative body recognised by the institute or technological university".
