Agricultural Policy

I agree fully with the hon. Gentleman’s sentiments and the case he makes. It is doubly unfortunate because Aberystwyth is a hub of very good agricultural science. He knows there has been a movement to set up a veterinary science department at the university. This measure will not help at all. Given the new problems coming virtually every year now—we have bluetongue and other things on the horizon—we need more of these facilities not fewer.
