§ Mr. Michael Brownasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement about money being donated from the foreign aid programme to the Royal Veterinary College for research into sheep breeding.
§ Mr. HurdFor expenditure in the financial year 1979–80 about £83,000 was allocated to four schemes at the Royal Veterinary College under the Research and Development Sub-head (D5) of the Overseas Aid Vote. Expenditure on three of those schemes will continue until 1981–82. They chiefly concern aspects of the breeding and adaptation of British sheep in developing countries. Most of the detailed technical work is being done at the college.
