HC Deb 09 August 1901 vol 99 cc282-3
MR. LLOYD MORGAN (Carmarthenshire, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether ho will state what progress has been made by the Ordnance Survey Department with the revision of the ordnance maps for the counties of Wales, and what counties are now in course of revision; whether he has given instructions for the commencement of the revision of the maps for the county of Carmarthen; if not, whether ho will do so, having regard to the fact that the revision of the adjoining county of Glamorgan has been completed.

*THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. HANBURY, Preston)

The counties of Anglesey, Carnarvon, Denbigh, Flint, Merioneth, and Glamorgan have already been revised. The revision of the county of Montgomery is in progress. Carmarthenshire was revised only thirteen years ago, and as revision is to take place every twenty years its revision is not yet due, but it will be completed well within the twenty-year limit. The original survey of Glamorganshire was completed twenty-three years ago.
