HC Deb 14 March 1962 vol 655 c153W
6. Mr du Cann

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how many of the new Admiralty charts for yachtsmen have been issued; how many copies have so far been sold; and what plans exist for extending the coverage of the series.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

So far charts of seven areas extending from Yarmouth to the Medway have been issued. By the summer we expect to add thirteen more charts, extending the cover to include the whole of the Solent area. Later on we hope to add further to the series. These charts retailed at 3s. 6d. have proved to be very popular with yachtsmen and in the two months in which they have been available, 2,300 copies have been sold.
