We discussed this. It will be remembered

that the question of the recognition of Dominion

qualifications of persons wishing to practise as veterinary surgeons in the Colonial Empire has been

discussed before and in 1930 a despatch was sent out

to most Colonies suggesting that where restrictive

legislation existed confining veterinary practise to

members or fellows of the Royal College of Veterinary

Surgeons, it should be modified to provide for the practising by any person whose qualifications were recognised by the Governor-in-Council.

No.7 on 7958/35 sets out the then position

of this question, except that the particular subject

under consideration then was the achievement of

reciprocity between the Union of South Africa and this

country in the matter of the recognition of vets.

Africa with United Kingdom qualifications, provided

that Dominion qualifications were recognised as being

admissible qualifications for candidates for the

Colonial Veterinary Service.

AS at present the wording of the regulations

for the Colonial Veterinary Service runs as follows

"the prescribed qualifications shall be the possession

of the Diploma of Membership of the Royal College of

Veterinary Surgeons or of a veterinary qualification

obtained in one of the self-governing Dominions",
