§ 50. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the nature, cost and purpose of the extension of the Rowett Institute, indicating the increase in its personnel and the scope of its work.
§ Mr. RossI assume that my hon. and learned Friend has in mind the new library wing which I opened on 12th May. This was generously gifted by Mr. Charles Alexander who does not wish the cost disclosed. It provides improved staff accommodation and needed extra space for books and periodicals both for the Institute and for the Commonwealth Bureau of Animal Nutrition. There will be no immediate changes in personnel or in the work of the Institute or the Bureau.
