HC Deb 24 May 1921 vol 142 cc58-9W
Mr. RAWLINSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of the grant being made, or proposed to be made, either as a capital sum or annually, to Oxford University in respect of the new single centre of training in forestry; how much is being contributed by India or Australia or other dominions towards the expense of the centre; and under what Vote such grant or any part thereof will appear?

Mr. YOUNG

I have not at present before me any proposal of the nature indicated in the question, but I understand that the recommendations of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Imperial Forestry Education are now being considered by the Forestry Commission and the other Departments represented on the Committee, the Report of which was recently presented to Parliament (Cmd. 1166).
