HC Deb 26 November 2002 vol 395 cc237-8W
Mr. Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the accuracy of(a) digital mapping and(b) Ordnance Survey maps. [83386]

Alun Michael

Digital mapping is an electronic version of Ordnance Survey (OS) large scale maps. These maps are produced to a very high standard.

The accuracy of digital mapping, as in the case of paper maps, depends on the scale and the quality of the original survey and the methods employed.

Statistical information about the accuracy of Ordnance Survey mapping is published on the Ordnance Survey website at www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk.
