§ 70. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that surveyors who are now bringing old ordnance maps up to date have received instructions not to show bridle paths separately as hitherto but to show them as merely rights of way or footpaths; and whether he will take steps to countermand such instructions to ensure that all established bridle paths are still shown as such on ordnance maps.
§ Mr. G. BrownSurveyors of the Ordnance Survey have been instructed not to distinguish between bridle and other paths because it proved impossible to obtain authoritative information that would enable the distinction to be made with certainty. The Ordnance Survey is not concerned with rights of way.
