 ====Letter to universities====
-In early October 2017 Heaton-Harris wrote to vice-chancellors at every UK University asking for the names of any professors involved in teaching European affairs “with particular reference to Brexit”. His letter asks for a copy of each university’s syllabus and any online lectures on Brexit. This led to claims of political interference in academic freedom, as well as censorship. Heaton-Harris, at the time government whip, was rebuked by the leadership of the [[Conservative Party]], although his colleague, universities minister, [[Jo Johnson]], suggested that Heaton-Harris might have been innocently researching a possible book on "the evolution of attitudes" to Europe, rather than acting in his role as a government minister, and "probably didn't appreciate the degree to which (the letter) would be misinterpreted".<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41747035 MP's Brexit letter to universities 'was research for book'], BBC, 25 October 2017</ref>
