INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR ADVANCED MEDITERRANEAN AGRONOMIC STUDIES

HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 cc537-8W

Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now arrange to establish regular bursaries to the Institute of Higher Mediterranean Agriculture at Montpellier and Bari to be open to all Commonwealth countries.

Mr. William Rodgers

The courses at the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies are primarily designed for students from countries with Mediterranean climates and these have already included Cyprus and Malta. I understand that other Commonwealth countries would be entitled to propose candidates for scholarships.
