§ 53. Mr. Turton (for Mr. Liddall)asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will take steps to bring the relative parts of the Ordnance Survey up to date without further delay in order that the usefulness afforded by His Majesty's Land Registry may be enjoyed by the public 945 during the next two years, at latest, over an increased area covering compulsory registration of title?
§ The Minister of Pensions (Mr. Ramsbotham)The whole question of the revision of ordnance survey maps is being considered by a Departmental Committee. One of the terms of reference of the committee is to consider what measures are necessary to accelerate the revision of maps. The committee have already made certain recommendations in this respect, and as a result the staff of the Ordnance Survey Department has been increased. Still further increases are likely to be made in the near future.
