HC Deb 17 May 1888 vol 326 c519
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (, &c.) Kirkcaldy

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the most highly cultivated counties of Scotland, Fife and the Lothians, are to have no better Ordnance Survey than the old 6-inch scale, since the last Report says nothing of any new survey on the larger scale?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

, in reply, said, it was intended to take up the revision of the Ordnance Survey of Scotland as soon as the re-survey of Lancashire and Yorkshire had been completed. That would be in about four years. It could not be done sooner.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked, if it could be done on a larger scale than the present?

MR. PLUNKET

Yes; when the resurvey is made.
