§ MR. WYLIE (Dunbartonshire)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, the total amount expended by the Meteorological Council in England per annum; also in Scotland and in Ireland respectively.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain): I am informed that the expenditure of the Council has never been analysed according to the locality in which it has been incurred, and that any such analysis would necessarily, from the circumstances of the case, be incomplete and misleading.
