Laid before Parliament: 1st September 1952

Coming into Operation: 1st October 1952

At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 1st day of September, 1952

By the Lords of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council

Whereas the University of Edinburgh is a University in the United Kingdom providing courses of study and examinations leading to a veterinary degree:

And Whereas it appears to the Privy Council, after consultation with the Council of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, that the courses of study and examinations are such as sufficiently to guarantee that holders of the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (B.V.M.S.) conferred by the said University will have acquired the knowledge and skill needed for the efficient practice of veterinary surgery:

Now, therefore, Their Lordships, in pursuance of Section 1 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, 1948, are pleased to direct as follows:—

1

Any person on whom the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (B.V.M.S.) is conferred by the University of Edinburgh during the continuance in force of this Order shall thereby be qualified to be a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and any such person shall, on application in the manner and on payment of the fee prescribed by regulations of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, be registered in the Register of Veterinary Surgeons and become a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons accordingly.

2

This Order may be cited as the Veterinary Surgeons (University Degrees) (Edinburgh) Order of Council, 1952, and shall come into operation on the 1st day of October, 1952.

Signed

W. G. Agnew
