I wish to ask a couple of questions on the Schedule. I agree with my two colleagues but will not take up time by repeating what they stated. A definition of "Northern Ireland" is not among the definitions, although a definition of "Great Britain" is included. The definition of an "ordinance map" is a map made under the powers conferred by the Survey (Ireland) Acts 1825 to 1870. Is that the most recent legislation under which ordinance survey maps are made or is there some uniqueness about this term that applies only to those maps? I was surprised by the antiquity of the reference.
