HC Deb 07 April 1909 vol 3 c1245W
Mr. HICKS BEACH

asked why no provision is made in the Estimates for 1909-10 for a grant to the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The Treasury were unable to agree to increased provision being made in the Estimates for the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, 1909-10, under sub-head E (grants for Agricultural and Dairy Education), pending the settlement of certain questions of principle affecting the organisation under which such grants are distributed.
