247. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many microfiches on average are required to carry the records of a single registered company: and what is the material cost of reproducing a single microfiche for the purpose of supplying the record to an inquirer.

Mr. Redwood

The average number of fiches duplicated per search is 4.5. The average material cost—the cost of the duplicate film only—is 8.5p per search; 1.9 per fiche.
