HC Deb 21 February 1899 vol 67 cc42-3
MR. DONAL SULLIVAN

On behalf of the honourable Member for Cork, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that the city of Cork has been re-surveyed and an ordnance map published on the 25-inch scale, there is any reason why a revised map on the 6-inch scale should not be immediately published; and whether he will state the names of ill towns and cities in the United King- dom having a population of 80,000 and upwards in which there has been no re-publication of the 6-inch ordnance map since 1876?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE

The honourable Member is not correctly informed as to the position in regard to the Ordnance Survey maps of Cork. The re-survey of Ireland on the 25-inch scale has not yet reached that city, and no maps on that scale are, therefore, available for reduction to the 6-inch scale. There are 11 towns in the United Kingdom, having a population of 80,000 or upwards, the 6-inch maps of which have not, as yet, been republished since 1876.

Forward to
