HC Deb 16 December 1929 vol 233 c956
36. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he can now make any statement regarding the Report on the Royal Veterinary College?

Mr. N. BUXTON

The Report is receiving my careful consideration. Discussions are proceeding with other Government Departments concerned, and with the governors of the college.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Will the right hon. Gentleman make a statement before Christmas?

Mr. BUXTON

I should hardly think that will be possible.

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Will the right hon. Gentleman make an announcement as soon as possible in regard to this very important matter, because it is a national disgrace, and something ought to be done?

Mr. BUXTON

I realise that it is of very great importance, but there are several Departments to be consulted.
