§ 23. "That a Supplementary sum, not exceeding £4,000, be granted to Her Majesty, to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 21st day of March,1900, for Expenditure in respect of Royal Palaces and Marlborough House."
§ 24. "That a sum, not exceeding, £130,537, be granted to Her Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1900, for the Survey of the United Kingdom, and for minor services connected therewith."
§ * SIR CHARLES DILKEI raised a question on this Vote last year, which the Secretary to the Treasury said he would bring to the knowledge of the officials, viz., the extraordinary carelessness shown in regard to the names in the Ordnance Survey. These names are of great antiquarian interest, and often have important historical bearings; but even in the 1532 Crown forests some of the official names are spelt differently. I would ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether this can be rectified.
§ MR. HANBURYThe right hon. Gentleman is no doubt aware that this Vote is not out of the Treasury, but out of the Board of Agriculture. I will bring the matter before my right hon. friend the President of the Board of Agriculture.
§ * SIR CHARLES DILKEThe same thing happened last year—the right hon. Gentleman was present, but the President of the Board of Agriculture was not.
§ Vote agreed to.
