§ Mr. LARDNERasked the Chief Secretary why the maps included in the Criminal Statistics of Ireland [Cd. 5866] have been prepared and printed at the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton, although the whole of the Blue Book itself has been printed in Ireland; will he state whether the Ordnance Survey Department has any map printing establishment in Ireland, or, if not, when it was discontinued; and will he further state whether the Irish Ordnance Survey is printed in Ireland or in Southampton?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI have been requested by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. The Ordnance Survey has a map printing establishment at Dublin, but it sometimes happens that a particular piece of work can be more economically carried out at Southampton, and this was the case in the particular instance to which the hon. Member refers. The great bulk of the printing work of the Irish Survey is, of course, done at Dublin.
