§ Q16. Mr. Haselhurstasked the Prime Minister whether she will make it Government policy to ensure that transcripts of public inquiries concerning subjects of national importance should be available to participants free of charge.

I consider that it is normally 369W reasonable to expect those requiring their own copies to pay for them, although special arrangements may occasionally by justified.
