HC Deb 24 May 1939 vol 347 cc2318-9W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the growing usefulness of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture at Trinidad, he will consider either the extension of this college in order that it should be enabled to train an increased number of officers, or, if this is not possible, the creation of another college with similar aims in view?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I am advised that the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture is able to provide the training in tropical agriculture and agricultural sciences for all such officers as are required by Colonial Dependencies at the present time.
