HC Deb 19 July 1950 vol 477 c2257
41. Miss Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what provision there will be at the new West Indian University for West Indians to take studies in home-making subjects and the crafts of the islands.

Mr. J. Griffiths

I understand that the University College of the West Indies does not at present contemplate making provision for these studies

Miss Ward

In view of the importance of these studies to the West Indians, would the right hon. Gentleman go into the matter to see whether such courses could not be initiated in this University?

Mr. Griffiths

The University is an autonomous body. I will convey the suggestion of the hon. Lady to them.
