§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Attorney-General (1) to what amount the charges to individuals for the use of the County Court Register of judgment debt defaulters would have to be increased in order to raise an additional £100,000 per year;
(2) by what percentage the subscriptions paid by credit reference agencies for the use of the County Court Register of judgment debt defaulters would have to be increased in order to raise an additional £100,000 per year.
§ The Attorney-General:It would not be appropriate to raise an additional £100,000 a year from any single class of user of the Register of County Court Judgments. By far the greatest use of the register is made by credit reference agencies. If it were desired to raise an additional £100,000 a year from the services provided by the register, the fairer way would be to raise all charges by 25 per cent.
