§ LIEUT.-COLONEL TUFNELL (Essex, S. E.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the map made of the country north of Ladysmith on a scale of four miles to an inch in 1896 has been continued southwards as recommended by the Director of Military Intelligence; and whether, in view of the want of funds for the provision of maps for military purposes during the late war, any additional funds are now available to enable the Intelligence Department to perform their duties satisfactorily.
1017 (Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) Arrangements are now in progress for surveying the whole of British territory south of the Zambesi on a scale suitable for military purposes provided the co-operation of all the Colonial Governments can be secured. The whole question of increasing facilities for map preparation by the Intelligence Department is now receiving careful consideration.
