Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 24 March 2010 in the House of Lords, by Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour).
Ordnance Survey
- Answer
-
No, my Lords, it certainly is not. I am conscious that this exchange will not be as productive as it might have been had our response to the consultation been published by now. We have made commitments to make sure that there is a sustainable business model. I hope when the noble Earl sees our response that he will accept that we have fulfilled those commitments.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 24 March 2010 by Earl of Selborne (Conservative).
- Question
- My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. Clearly, the free availability of Ordnance Survey data is to be welcomed. The great concern is that the Prime Minister has already announced this week that the new arrangements for free data are to start on 1 April—next Thursday—with no funding arrangement to replace them. Is our national mapping organisation at risk?
