Brigadier-General BROWNasked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made by the Departmental Committee on the ordnance survey; and when their report is expected to be available?
§ Mr. ELLIOTThe Departmental Committee of which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is chairman, have presented an interim report covering the preparation of maps for town and country planning and the conditions upon which the reproduction of ordnance survey maps should be permitted. The Government have accepted the recommendations contained in the report, and provision is being made accordingly in the Estimates for 1936 for accelerating the production of maps for town and country planning. I am arranging for the publication of the report at an early date.
