Coverage: The Times - Oxford Union accused of breaking the law during Israel debate

Hundreds of academics have written to Lord Hague of Richmond, the newly elected Oxford chancellor, saying that an Oxford Union debate which praised the October 7 attacks on Israel broke the law.

Professor Sir Vernon Bogdanor, ­Baroness Deech and Professor Peter Hacker are among the signatories of an open letter to Hague, who was elected the new chancellor of Oxford University last week. Hague confirmed to The Times yesterday that he had ­reviewed the open letter and said he “shares the concerns of the signatories”.
