§ 65. Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that the larger scale ordnance survey maps for East Anglia, showing field boundaries, are now mostly out of date and inaccurate; what steps he is taking to re-survey the region by aerial photography and other means; and when revised editions of such maps will become available.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThere is a serious lack of up-to-date large scale maps for East Anglia and most other parts of Great Britain. A major expansion of the work of the Ordnance Survey was announced in 1966. The re-survey of the larger towns is now virtually complete; that of the smaller towns should be completed by about 1970 and of the rest of the country by about 1980. Air survey is widely used.
