HC Deb 11 December 1961 vol 651 cc14-5W
72. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress there has been in the discussions on the provision of an agricultural college at Aberystwyth as envisaged by the Working Party following the Report of the Seaborne Davies Committee; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Vane

Yes. Consultation with the various interests concerned has taken longer than anticipated. Before making a decision my right hon. Friend is awaiting the further views of the Council for Wales and Monmouthshire and the Welsh Joint Education Committee.
