HC Deb 03 August 1926 vol 198 cc2797-8
41. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Agriculture when maps will be available to the public showing the new trunk and other roads which have been completed during the past three years?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

Revisions of Ordnance Survey maps are continually in progress, and, both in these revised maps and in reprints, the information as to new trunk or other roads is brought up to date. Examples are to be seen in a number of maps on the small scale of the south of England.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Can my right hon. Friend say when the last map was issued?

Mr. GUINNESS

The whole of the country is gradually being re-mapped. I could supply the date of the latest map of any particular area if my hon. Friend would give me notice. Generally speaking, the towns where development is going on are mapped twice as frequently as the country districts, where small changes are taking place.
