Therefore, it would seem quite appropriate for there to he a quick and easy way of finding out which company can do you the best deal. After all. you wouldn't simply go into the Union travel shop and ask for a ticket to Paris without shopping around. So the news that some unions, including our very own Leeds Metropolitan University Students' Union, actively ban any insurance company apart from Endsleigh from promoting their services is nothing short of an oulragc. Of course, it shouldn't surprise anybody. NUS holds a 14.3 per cent stake in Endsleigh. But the whole ethos behind the NUS is fighting for students and getting them the best deal possible. It's quite plain that when it comes to A TIP ON GETTING A FIRST, BY SIR RON BEARING insuring your possessions, this isn't happening. Startling A quick look at our table comparing LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - Hndsleigh's policy with other companies makes for startling reading. It's no wonder Hndsleigh are pushing the NUS for greater access to the student market.
