HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 cc1671-2
8. Sir GEOFFREY BUTLER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any information from the Government of the Barbados as to the inauguration of a fund for the rebuilding of Codrington College, recently destroyed by fire?

Mr. AMERY

I understand from the Governor that the Board of Governors of Codrington College are proceeding with the collection of subscriptions locally towards a fund for rebuilding, and that a wider appeal is under consideration.

Sir G. BUTLER
