HC Deb 19 December 1969 vol 793 c462W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what courses, both full-time and sandwich, are available in Great Britain for the agricultural training of students from developing countries of the Commonwealth; and to what extent detailed information about such courses is sent to appropriate Commonwealth Governments and to their High Commissioners in the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Hart

Most of the courses listed in Her Majesty's Stationery Office's publication "Agricultural Education. Full-time and Sandwich Courses in England and Wales, 1969–70" are open to overseas applicants. A similar list is available for courses in Scotland. My Ministry finances training mainly at post-graduate level. Details of courses which are specially suitable for overseas graduates are made known to Her Majesty's representatives in the developing countries, including British High Commissioners in the Commonwealth, who in turn make them available to the governments to which they are accredited.
