§ MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can now state the result of his investigation into the effect of the London County Council power station, erected on the meridian close to Greenwich Observatory, on the instruments used there; and whether it will be possible in the future to rely on observations taken there for the purpose of the Nautical Almanack.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) Tests have recently been carried out to determine the possible effect of this station on the instruments in the Observatory, and I hope to be able to make a statement on the subject as soon as the results have been examined.
