HC Deb 23 March 1869 vol 194 cc1999-2000
SIR LAWRENCE PALK

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, When the Cadastral Survey of the mining districts of England will be completed, and especially the mining districts of Devon and Cornwall, where there are the richest mines of tin, copper, and other ores?

MR. CARDWELL

said, in reply, that the cadastral survey of the mining districts had been commenced in Flint, Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Denbighshire, but not in Devon or Cornwall, and the time at which it would be completed there, would depend on the order in which it would proceed in the rest of the mining districts, including Staffordshire and South Wales.
