Geospatial Commission

Former committee of the British government

The United Kingdom's Geospatial Commission was an expert group responsible for promoting the use of geospatial data in the country.[1] The commission also defines UK's "geospatial strategy".[2]

Initially established in 2018 as part of the Cabinet Office, it later moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology[when?] before being merged into the Government Digital Service in January 2025.[3]

The Geospatial Commission works closely alongside its Partner Bodies, also known as the Geo6:

* British Geological Survey
* Coal Authority
* HM Land Registry
* Ordnance Survey
* UK Hydrographic Office
* Valuation Office Agency
