§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Wexford, N.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury if, in view of the fact that in the revised Ordnance Survey maps of Ireland, Catholic churches are invariably set down as R. C. chapels, he will take the necessary steps to have these churches set down on the maps under their proper designation.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) Perhaps I may be allowed to answer this Question. I understand that Roman Catholic churches are not always described as chapels on Ordnance Survey maps, the practice being to give the names as they are locally known. If my hon. friend will give me information as to any particular cases in which this course has not been followed, my noble friend will be glad to look into the matter. In any case he would wish to consult the wishes of the religious body to which a place of worship belongs.
