Abstract
DURING last autumn, the council of the Chartered Surveyors' Institution decided to press for an official inquiry into the present position of the maps and plans of the Ordnance Survey, and an article on the subject appeared in NATURE of November 3 (p. 677). In reply to a question by Sir Francis Fremantle in the House of Commons on April 1, Mr. Walter Elliot, Minister of Agriculture, said: “A substantial addition has been made to the Ordnance Survey Estimates for 1935, and this will enable a beginning to be made in the way of overtaking arrears. I propose, however, to refer to a Departmental Committee the whole question of the acceleration of the revision of Ordnance Survey maps and the preparation of plans for town and country planning. I hope shortly to be able to announce the composition of the committee and its terms of reference.”
