Written Question
Ordnance Survey: Databases
Tuesday 27th February 2018

Asked by: Andrew Lewer (Conservative - Northampton South)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to re-examine the Geospatial Commission proposal of November 2017 on free access to Ordnance Survey data.

Answered by Elizabeth Truss

At Autumn Budget 2017, the government committed to work with Ordnance Survey (OS) and the new Geospatial Commission to establish by May 2018 how to open up freely OS’s MasterMap data to UK-based small businesses in particular. This work is underway and we will provide further updates in due course.
