HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 c99W
73. Mr. Henry Clark

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what scale has been chosen by the Ordnance Survey to replace their inch-mile maps of the United Kingdom; when such maps will begin to be available to the public; and what increase in the retail price he estimates the change will cause.

Mr. K. Robinson

No decision has been taken on the metrication of the Ordnance Survey 1-inch maps. The problem is under active study and I hope it will be possible to begin consultations at the end of the year.
