HC Deb 05 November 1906 vol 164 cc100-1
MR. FIELD

To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether bookbinding and map mounting in connection with the Ordnance Survey work in Ireland is done in Southampton; and, if so, with a view to convenience and economy whether he will arrange to have it done in Ireland.

(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) Map mounting and book binding for Ireland is done at Southampton, but the amount of such work is small, and it could not be done with either convenience or economy by setting up a separate staff and machinery in Dublin.
