Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Flood and Water Management Bill.

Flood and Water Management Bill

I am grateful for that. This risks getting into the silly situation whereby Ordnance Survey used to miss out military bases from maps on the grounds that people would not know they were there if they were missed out, and as though they could not see them when they flew over them. Surely it is now perfectly possible to publish things on the internet, even if they would not be published as a great telephone directory-type volume. That would seem to be the way to make details accessible to those people—perhaps a minority—who want them.
