HC Deb 13 March 1890 vol 342 cc687-8
SIR RICHARD PAGET (Somerset, Wells)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he proposes to present to the House any statement of the distribution of "Grants in Aid" to Agricultural schools during the current financial year; and whether he will, in connection with any such statement, present a Report on the Agricultural School at Aspatria, the system of agricultural teaching carried on in connection with the college at Bangor, or of technical or other work at other Agricultural schools assisted by the Department?

* THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincoln, Sleaford

I hope very shortly to lay upon the Table a statement showing the distribution of the Grants in Aid to Agricultural and Dairy schools during the current financial year. I will endeavour also to supplement that statement by an explanatory Report upon the educational work carried on, as I am informed and as I am glad to say, with very considerable success, both at the institutions which are named by the hon. Baronet and also in other quarters where assistance has been rendered by the Parliamentary Grant.
