§ 37. Mr. Bellengerasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has considered the application from the University of Oxford for a contribution towards the sum of £70,000 payable by the university in settlement of a claim in respect of depredations by a former official of the university; and whether he will make a statement on this matter?
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. W. S. Morrison)This matter is at present under discussion with the university, and a full investigation of the facts is taking place. 20 This necessarily will take time, and I am not, therefore, in a position to make any statement at the moment.
