§ Mr. FIELDTo ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if he can state what weekly charge is made for conveyance by the field superintendent, Ordnance Survey, at Duleek, for paying and visiting a detached party at Naul, County Dublin; can he say why a surveyor named Carter was allowed to compel his labourer to work on the bank holiday, 26th June last, and what action has been taken regarding this action on the part of the surveyor; and if it has been reported to the Division Office at Dublin.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) The weekly charge for the conveyance to which my hon. friend refers is 6s. 6d. Mr. Carter and the labourer mentioned 843 worked on 26th June, as the former was not notified that that day was a public holiday. A day's leave in lieu thereof was given to both men on 29th June.
