HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 c104W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Attorney-General whether he will issue directions that the general public and the Press, on payment of the appropriate fee, should have a right to a copy of the official transcript of proceedings in any court or tribunal.

The Attorney-General

No directions are appropriate. Apart from matrimonial cases where the leave of the court is required, the provision of trans-scripts is a matter for arrangement with the shorthand writers or transcribers.
