HC Deb 10 April 1973 vol 854 c263W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what use is made by his Department of the Ordnance Survey 2½-inches-to-the-mile maps; and if he considers that satisfactory alternatives to these maps are available for the purposes for which they are currently used.

Mr. Graham Page

The Director-General of the Ordnance Survey announced on 20th February that my right hon. and learned Friend has authorised a review by his Department and the Ordnance Survey of the use made by Government Departments and other public sector bodies of maps at this scale. This review will show whether satisfactory alternatives are available.
