§ MR. C. DYKE ACLAND (Cornwall, Launceston)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is the fact that certain parts of the 6in. Ordnance Survey, with contour lines, are ready, but are being withheld until the first edition (which, having no contour lines is incomplete) has been sold out; and as the delay so caused may be prolonged indefinitely, whether he will direct the complete edition, which is much desired, to be issued for sale forthwith?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, SleafordIt is not the case that certain parts of the 6in. Ordnance Survey with contour lines are ready, but are being withheld until the first edition has been sold out. The publication of the second edition of the 6in. map with contours is gradually proceeding, without reference to the fact whether the first edition has been sold out or not. But, owing to the pressure of work in the Ordnance Survey Department, it will be some time, I am afraid, before the publication can be completed.
