Natural England received funding of £157,000 in 2016/2017 for the licensing of mapping products, and also access Ordnance Survey map data through the Public Sector Mapping Agreement which is funded by the UK government centrally. In addition to dedicated mapping personnel, staff across Natural England are able to access and use maps and spatial data in their work. This includes staff handling mapped information from Environmental and Countryside Stewardship applicants and agreement holders and also accessing Rural Land Register farmland map information maintained by RPA. Natural England also provides open access to maps and spatial data to individuals and organisations outside of NE through the Magic web service.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the estimated value is of maps held by his Department.
The Department has not estimated the value of its maps. They are increasingly held in digital form, in many cases issued and used digitally, and only printed as required. The accounting value of our holdings is rated as 'zero'as they have no realisable financial value due to copyright and licensing constraints. The value to Defence of the material held in the databases is impossible to quantify.
