§ 59. Mr. Everardasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what steps are 2893 being taken to come to an international agreement on a uniform system of flying maps?
§ Sir P. SassoonMy hon. Friend will be aware, I think, that Annex F of the Air Navigation Convention of 1919 provided for a uniform system of aeronautical maps. The Annex has been revised from time to time and there has been in consequence, I am afraid, some delay on the part of the contracting States in general in issuing the necessary maps. Arrangements have been made with the Ordnance Survey, Southampton, for the publication of those for which this country is responsible.
§ Mr. EverardWill the right hon. Baronet take it up as the next meeting?
§ Sir P. SassoonI hope it will not be necessary to do so and that our own maps may be published before then.
