§ MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state the result of the tests recently carried out to determine the effect of the London County Council power station on the instruments used at Greenwich Observatory; and whether the Observatory is to be removed from Greenwich.
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. LAMBERT, Devonshire,) South MoltonA full examination of the whole question is now being conducted, and it would be premature to make any statement on the subject.
§ MR. ASHLEYWhen may we have some answer on this very important subject? I have been asking two months.
§ MR. LAMBERTWhen the examination is completed.
§ MR. ARTHUR LEE (Hampshire, Fareham)May I ask the hon. Gentleman whether, if the inquiry should prove that the power station is an injury to the Observatory, he will consider the solution of removing the power station instead of the Observatory?
§ MR. LAMBERTThat is a hypothetical Question which I do not feel called upon to answer.
