Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has now considered the copy of the resolution passed by the council of the National Veterinary Medical Association of Great. Britain and Ireland, on 6th January last, concerning the possibility of the closing down of the Royal Veterinary College in London and asking for assistance from the State; and whether he is considering taking action in this matter in view of the national and Imperial importance of the college?

Mr. HANNON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received a copy of the resolution unanimously adopted by the council of the National Veterinary Medical Association of Great Britain and Ireland, expressing concern at the possibility of the closing down of the Royal Veterinary College, London, and urging that this institution should be endowed by the State; and what action he proposes to take?

Mr. ATTLEE

My right hon. Friend has considered the resolution in question, but he regrets that he can add nothing to the reply which he gave on 27th November to the hon. and gallant Member for Howdenshire (Major Carver). A copy of that reply is being sent to the hon. Members.
