§ Mr. MORRELLasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has received complaints as to the refusal of the Government to revise the large scale 1/500 of the Ordnance Survey map at the same time that they are revising the smaller scale 1/2500, both of which were originally prepared by the Ordnance Survey Department; whether he is aware that the larger scale map is frequently being required by the valuers engaged in valuation under the Budget of last year; and whether there is any precedent for suggesting that local authorities should revise such plans at their own expense?
Mr. McKINNON WOODA general revision of the Ordnance Survey map on the scale 1/500 is not required for the purposes of the valuation under Part I. of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue have not asked for such revision. The maps for 963W which those Commissioners have asked are being supplied by the Ordnance Survey Department, and I am not aware of any occasion for complaint having arisen.
