HC Deb 22 November 1983 vol 49 c75W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his Department received a request by post in September 1983 from Councillor Mrs. Haig McKitty on Wealden district council, East Sussex for the supply by post of a large number of individual company records; whether these records were supplied on microfiche; how many were supplied; and what was the price charged.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

The request was received for information contained in the records of approximately 200 companies. Microfiche copies of the records of 148 companies were subsequently made available for collection. Due to a misunderstanding of instructions, a charge of £35 was made for this service. This amount, however, did represent the marginal cost of providing the copies.
