HC Deb 22 June 1999 vol 333 c322W
Mr. Corbyn:

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will place in the Library a transcript of the trial at Birmingham Crown Court of former West Midlands Police Chief Superintendent Barry Mason in April. [87701]

Mr. Vaz

No. Parties in cases may place an order for transcript (at their own expense) with the court reporters responsible for taking the verbatim record of the case. The contractor can provide transcripts to anyone else only once they have received approval in writing from the court. In this case the transcript runs to about 70 pages and would cost approximately £350.
