57. Major WOODasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he has now inquired into the difficulties alleged to have been placed by the Government in the way of the publication of certain charts specially designed for fishermen; and, if so, whether he can state the result of his inquiries?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEI have had occasion to look into the question of the reproduction of charts. The present practice is to charge a small royalty for the preservation of Crown copyright. Beyond this I know of no difficulties which have arisen and I am not prepared to modify existing arrangements.
