The
Archbishop of Canterbury has called on the Government to put pressure on
universities over reports of "no-platforming, intimidation and lack of
free speech".
The leading Anglican made the intervention as peers heard just five universities were known to have adopted an agreed definition of anti-Semitism.
The archbishop, who is President of the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ), said: "We hear numerous reports of no-platforming, of intimidation and lack of free speech.
"I accept fully that the universities are autonomous but will the minister look for ways in which pressure can be applied to ensure these standards are kept?
"Because mere exhortation, would she agree, is not really working."
