HC Deb 20 February 1957 vol 565 c68W
73. Sir R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider a proposal to give university status to the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad.

Mr. Profumo

The Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture already provides teaching in agriculture, and associated sciences, at advanced university level. The question of providing a first degree in agriculture in the Caribbean by developing a special relationship between the University College of the West Indies and the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture is at present under discussion between the governing bodies of the two colleges.
