§ 9. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for India what is the number of students that can be accommodated at the Government agricultural college at Coimbatore; and whether, in view of the importance of agricultural training to the prosperity of the country and the fact that out of 170 applicants during the current year 130 were refused on the ground of insufficient accommodation, the Government of India propose to increase the accommodation at this college?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe matter is one for the Government of Madras. My Noble Friend does not know what number of students can be accommodated at the College, but understands that new buildings have recently been, or are being, constructed.
