§ 74. Viscount SANDONasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the condition of the Royal Veterinary College; and whether his Department will take any action to secure that it should be enabled to attain to modern standards?
§ Captain BOWYERMy right hon. Friend has had the question of the Royal Veterinary College under review for some time, and in July last, at the request of the governing body, he appointed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Sir Charles Martin to consider the general question of the reconstruction of the College and the probable cost. The Committee includes members of the medical and veterinary professions and of the governing body of the College. Eight meetings have so far been held, and some evidence has been taken. I am informed that the Committee is approaching the close of its deliberations.
