Cost of information from the publication scheme

The following charging policy relates to all of the classes of information contained in the scheme.

Information in this scheme is available to view free of charge on this website or if it is sent to you by email. The Commissioner will make a charge to cover reproduction and postage costs for paper copies or computer discs, but only if the total cost of sending you the information exceeds £5.00. Our charges are based on the following:

5p per side for standard A4 photocopy/printing

50p per CD Rom or floppy disc

Actual postage costs as charged by Royal Mail (these will, of course, depend on the size of the document(s) and the location of the address to which they are sent).

Large print, Audio tape and Braille copies - free (postage costs waived on these items)

The Commissioner will bear the first £5.00 cost of sending you information. If the total cost is £9.50, you will be asked to pay only £4.50 towards the cost. Where a charge will apply, you will be told of this and we will send the information to you as soon as your payment is received.
