Mr. NANNETTI

asked the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether his attention has been called to the statement on page 9 of the Report of the Progress of the Ordnance Survey to 31st March, 1909, that Lieutenant-Colonel C. C. J. Perry has charge, at the office in the Phœnix Park, Dublin, of the publication and engraving of Irish maps and the surveys for the Land Judges' Department and Irish Land Commission; and', if so, whether he will now say if the responsibility of the work falls upon the officials under Lieutenant-Colonel Perry at Mountjoy, or upon assistants serving elsewhere than in Ireland?

Sir E. STRACHEY

Lieutenant-Colonel Perry, acting under the orders of the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey, is responsible for all the work executed at Mountjoy.
