7 Ordnance Survey
29. Following the Committee's report on Ordnance
Survey in June 2002, the Government made a commitment to revise
its framework which sets out the organisation's aims, functions,
strategic objectives and governance arrangements. The Framework
was supposed to be published by the end of 2002 defining the boundaries
of its public service and national interest work and its commercial
operations.[27] The ODPM
suggested that the new framework document would be published in
the Autumn, but as yet this has not happened. The
Ordnance Survey urgently requires a new Framework to ensure that
its data is easily accessible and is widely used. It must give
priority to producing this framework.
27 The report following the second stage of the Quinquennial
Review into Ordnance Survey suggested that an enhanced Framework
Document would be produced by the end of 2002 [Official Report
