Investigate the purpose of the letter sent by MP Heaton-Harris to university VCs
On 3rd October, Tory whip Heaton-Harris requested on government letterhead of all university VCs "the names of professors...involved in the teaching of European affairs, with particular reference to Brexit." Government must investigate the intentions of this letter and publish its findings.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is already investigating a complaint against Mr Heaton-Harris, so we're not sure what further action you'd like to see.
