§ 87. Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the recently issued 42 Report of the Departmental Committee of the Board of Agriculture on the supply of veterinary officers, in which it is stated that a largely increased number of veterinary officers possessing special qualifications will be required for public services, and suggested that increased State aid shall be given to institutions devoted to veterinary education; and whether, in view of the increasing importance of expert veterinary science in order to cope effectively with the more serious contagious diseases of animals, he is prepared to consider sympathetically the above suggestion?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe matter is under consideration.
