HC Deb 24 September 1948 vol 456 c187W
Mr. Granville Sharp

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will ask local authorities and other bodies whose members and officials have opportunities to ascertain errors in maps issued by the Ordnance Survey Department, to submit such information so that mapping may be more accurate; and to what address and in what form such information should be submitted.

Mr. T. Williams

Information confirming minor errors on Ordnance Survey maps (as distinct from developments which have taken place in the locality since the map was last revised), is welcomed from any source. It should be sent to the Director-General, Ordnance Survey
