"High Court documents show Ms Phillipson received a briefing from Department for Education (DfE) officials in July on how she could go about revoking new laws promoting academic freedom.

She took the university sector by surprise when she announced on July 26 that she was shelving the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act, just six days before it was due to come into force.

Ms Phillipson said at the time that she had chosen to “stop” the flagship Tory legislation before it was set to be implemented on Aug 1 “in order to consider options, including its repeal”.

 

However, court documents obtained by The Telegraph revealed that the Education Secretary had already sought advice weeks before that on how to scrap the main elements of the free speech legislation."
