“After section A4 of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (inserted by section 2) insert—

“A4A Application of students’ union provisions to other student bodies

(1) In this Part, where a provision applies to a students’ union, it should also be taken to apply to any other student body.

(2) For the purposes of this section “other student body” means—

(a) any Junior Common Room or Middle Common Room of a constituent institution; and

(b) any club or society made up of students at a higher education institution, whether or not the club or society is affiliated to the students’ union.””—
