Government depts that charge are not allowed to make a "profit", they are required to cover the costs of delivering the service.  Anyway, if they did it would be the taxpayer who would benefit.

The original topic asked that those who are interested sign a petition.

Since it is related to family history it will be allowed to stay.  You may choose not to sign - or to sign.

No further discussion will be permitted however.

PETITON TO OPEN BMD RECORDS
« Reply #65 on: Monday 09 February 09 18:45 GMT (UK) »
HI  EVERYONE
There is a petition to 10 Downing Street to permit open access to the registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths from 1837 to 1908.  This one act would enable all family historians and genealogists to find the right family certificate without having to purchase a copy certificate which turns out to be incorrect.

I hope you can support this as it will make family history just that little bit easier, after all these registrations are over 100 years old.

THANKS
JIM
