University denies banning Nellist under anti-terror law
LEEDS BECKETT University denied yesterday that it used Prevent anti-terrorism legislation to ban former Labour MP Dave Nellist from its campus.
Mr Nellist, now a Socialist Party member, claimed that university bosses had used “vetting powers” to reject his application to speak at the university.
He was invited to address a meeting at the students’ union on Tuesday night about the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.
