§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he will make an announcement concerning the location of the proposed College of Agriculture for Wales; and whether the suitability of Aberystwyth for this purpose is being given consideration.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsAs my right hon. Friend and I have made clear in previous answers, the establishment of this college is now a matter for the Welsh Joint Education Committee. I understand that they have set up a special panel to examine urgently all the problems involved, including that of the college's location. I have no doubt that the committee will consider the suitability of Aberystwyth, since this was the location proposed in the Report of the Seaborne Davies Committee and the subsequent Ministry of Agriculture Working Party.
