§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state why the maps for the Congested Districts Board Commission are not being printed in Ireland; and whether there has been any delay in having this Irish work carried out at Southampton.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) My right hon. friend has asked me to answer this Question. The maps referred to involved colour printing, for which no-arrangements exist in Ireland, and they were therefore printed at Southampton. There was a slight delay in the case of one of the maps, as the only machines avail- able for the purpose were being occupied with a more urgent order from another Department, but this was in no way due to the maps being printed at Southampton rather than in Dublin.
