HC Deb 17 July 1929 vol 230 c423
50. Lieut.- Colonel Sir LAMBERT WARD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government has arrived at any decision with regard to the adoption of the Lovat Report (medical and veterinary services)?

Mr. LUNN

I presume that the hon. and gallant Member refers to the Report—Command 3261—of the Committee which was appointed under the chairmanship of Lord Lovat to inquire into the organisation of the Colonial Veterinary Services. I am unable to add anything to the reply which was given to the hon. and gallant Member for St. Albans (Lieut.-Colonel Fremantle) on the 8th July.

Sir L. WARD

Can the hon. Gentleman give any indication when the Government will have arrived at a decision on this subject?

Mr. LUNN

I think that if the hon. and gallant Gentleman will look at the reply which was given to the hon. and gallant Member for St. Albans, he will see what is the position and how soon he may expect to have a reply.
