UK Location Strategy

Mr. Prisk
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what plans she has for consultation on the UK Location Strategy.

Mr. Dhanda
Place Matters: The Location Strategy for the United Kingdom was submitted to Ministers by the UK Geographic Information Panel in October 2007. It was formulated following wide consultation across the UK geographic information industry and related interests. The strategy provides a framework for the better management and stewardship of public sector information.

Decisions will be made shortly on how best to take forward the recommendations contained within the strategy.
