§ 30. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many veterinary students graduate each year; to what extent the number of qualified veterinary surgeons is increasing; and if he is satisfied that the present veterinary schools are adequate to meet the calls on the profession.
§ Mr. GodberOn average over the last five years about 230 new veterinary graduates have been added annually to 1383 the statutory register, while the total number on the register has increased by about 130 a year. My right hon. Friend has no reason to think that the existing veterinary schools are unable to provide a reasonable flow of graduates.
