§ 21. Mr. Royleasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what decisions have been reached as a result of the discussion between the governing bodies of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad, and the University College of the West Indies on the proposal to grant university status to the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture.
§ Mr. ProfumoI understand that recent discussions between the governing bodies of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, Trinidad, and the University 400 College of the West Indies were concerned with the question of providing a first degree in agriculture in the Caribbean by developing a special relationship between the two colleges. No final conclusion as a result of these discussions has yet been reached.
§ Mr. RoyleIn view of the regard in which this College is held, not only in the West Indies but throughout the Commonwealth, will the Minister do everything he can to aid this aim?
