HC Deb 27 June 1957 vol 572 cc399-400
21. Mr. Royle

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what decisions have been reached as a result of the discussion between the governing bodies of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad, and the University College of the West Indies on the proposal to grant university status to the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture.

Mr. Profumo

I understand that recent discussions between the governing bodies of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad, and the University College of the West Indies were concerned with the question of providing a first degree in agriculture in the Caribbean by developing a special relationship between the two colleges. No final conclusion as a result of these discussions has yet been reached.

Mr. Royle

In view of the regard in which this College is held, not only in the West Indies but throughout the Commonwealth, will the Minister do everything he can to aid this aim?

Forward to
