HC Deb 14 March 1917 vol 91 c1089
65. Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware of the threatened closure of the Agricultural College at Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, and of the consequent loss to agricultural progress; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. PROTHERO

Negotiations are still in progress with the Cheshire County Council by which it is hoped that the closing of the Holmes Chapel College may be obviated.
