HC Deb 17 August 1893 vol 16 cc404-5
MR. H. HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether it has been found practicable to provide facilities for the inspection of Ordnance Survey Maps by persons desiring to refer to them; and, if so, what are the arrangements which have been made?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. H. GARDNER,) Essex, Saffron Walden

We have recently made arrangements by which the latest issues of the Ordnance Survey maps on the 1-inch and 6-inch scales will be available for inspection by the public at the offices of the Board of Agriculture at 3, St. James's Square. Changes in the boundaries of boroughs, Local Government districts, and parishes, will be recorded on 6-inch maps, as soon as possible after they have been authorised, and a complete set of the index maps and indices of all Ordnance Survey maps and publications will be kept for reference. I trust that the provision of those facilities will be found of general public utility.
