HC Deb 31 October 1944 vol 404 c657W
Sir W. Jenkins

asked the right hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, what number of colleges there are in England, Scotland and Wales and what number of students were trained for forestry in 1930, 1936, 1939 and 1944 in each of the colleges; and whether scholarships are given to students and, if so, by whom such scholarships are granted, the amounts given and upon what basis they are given.

Sir G. Courthope

I am unaware of the number of colleges there is in Great Britain. Degrees in forestry are granted by the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Bangor. There are also a few colleges which include some elementary forestry instruction in wider curricula. The information asked for in the second part of the Question is not immediately available, but will be collected and handed to the hon. Member.
