HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 c456
17. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made in the compilation of aerial photographic surveys of British Guiana.

Mr. Hopkinson

About 10,000 square miles have so far been photographed, and maps of certain areas of the coastal belt are being prepared. Photography is to be resumed in August.
