HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 cc181-2W
Colonel IVOR PHILIPPS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether the question of the allow- ance to be paid to the Ordnance Survey men employed on land valuation work has been specially referred to Lord Ilkeston's Committee; and, if not, whether he will draw the committee's attention to the point and ask them to include the subject in their inquiry and Report?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The question of travelling allowances generally is being considered by the Committee. There is no reason for differentiation between the allowances paid to men employed on the work required for land valuation purposes and those paid to men engaged on the normal business of the survey.
