HC Deb 04 March 1924 vol 170 c1178
77. Mr. SULLIVAN

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he will reconsider the proposal to take away the veterinary college from Glasgow, and also the proposal to reduce the grant at present payable to it.

79. Mr. WILLIAM MARTIN

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he is aware that the Scottish Board of Agriculture has in its recent allocations granted £3,500 to the Royal (Dick) Veterinary College and only £100 to the Glasgow Veterinary College, and that this discrimination between these two colleges has created a feeling of discontent in agricultural circles; and if he will take steps to bring the grants more to an equality?

Mr. ADAMSON

I would refer my hon. Friends to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for the Bridgeton. Division (Mr. Maxton) on Tuesday last.

Mr. MAXTON

The answer given to the hon. Member for Bridgeton was that a Committee was inquiring into the whole question of agricultural education in Scotland. Will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that the persons in Glasgow interested in agricultural and veterinary education will have an opportunity of placing evidence before that Committee?

Mr. ADAMSON

Yes, Sir.
