answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>The Department will publish Land Use Change Statistics for 2016-17 on 31 May.</p><p>To produce these statistics, the Department obtains data produced by the Ordnance Survey. Over the course of this year, the Ordnance Survey has been making technical improvements to the processes it uses to capture up-to-date and robust information on land use change – these improvements are to ensure that the methodology continues to detect real world changes in land use during 2016-17 as accurately as possible and not changes in land use that are due to other regular Ordnance Survey data updates. These technical improvements meant that the methodology used to produce the final land use change figures also required updating, to ensure that the figures for 2016-17 are consistent with past figures and for this reason the release will be published later this month.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/05/2018 16:00:11 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab previous answer version 57765 answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
