§ Mr. Colvinasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is now able to say when the report of the Ordnance Survey Advisory Board on proposals for a trading fund for that organisation will be available.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe OSAB has now submitted its report and I am having copies placed in the Libraries of both Houses. The Government are considering this helpful report and the recommendations which the advisory board makes about the financial structure of the Ordnance Survey and will make a statement as soon as this is possible. I am taking steps to make the report available to the public from the Ordnance Survey at a small charge.
