§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether there is any objection to the Irish Ordnance Survey being directly under the Department of Agriculture (Ireland), having the Irish Survey headquarters at Dublin; and, if so, whether he can state the objections.
Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) The division of the work of the Ordnance Survey in the manner suggested would be attended with diminished efficiency and increased expense. No change is therefore contemplated in the existing arrangements.
