§ 13. Mr. Leadbitterasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what steps he has taken to recruit extra staff for the Ordnance Survey to bring up to date the backlog of large scale mapping.
Mr. WileyThere has been a net increase of about 100 in the staff of the Ordnance Survey during the last six months and the Department is aiming to recruit a further substantial number later in the year. My objective is to increase the staff by about 20 per cent. over the next 10 years or so to complete the re-survey of the country by about 1980.
