§ 55. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Agriculture what is the present basis of charging reproduction fees for ordnance survey maps; and whether any reductions are made for technical and specialised journals where the accuracy of any map is of particular importance.
Mr. T. WilliamsThe normal basis for determining the copyright fees for reproductions made from ordnance survey maps is set out in leaflet O.S.23 entitled "Regulations Governing the Reproduction of Ordnance Survey Maps." I am sending a copy to the hon. Member. Applications for permission to reproduce ordnance survey maps in technical and specialised publications are considered on their merits, and reduced fees are charged whenever this appears to be in the public interest.
