Hi Polly

I'm surprised there has been no petition to Downing Street on this new
charge. It is well above the pay rises and as the vast majority of people
who send for certificates are pensioners and our pensions are only going up
by something just over 2% I think this increase is appalling.

But in checking the GRO certificate ordering website today
(http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/)
I found this additional announcement:

Changes to Fees and Services from 6 April 2010

Customers are asked to please note that there will be a change to the GRO
fee structure which will take effect from 6 April 2010. Further details can
be found on the IPS website at www.ips.gov.uk. Please note in addition that
GRO have reviewed the range of services which we currently offer. We have
been advised that there is no clear remit in statute for charging for a
service to check additional index references, or to retain partial fees. In
order to ensure full legal compliance, and in view of the fact that we
cannot afford to offer this service free of charge, we are regretfully
withdrawing our reference checking service from 6 April. This will include
the withdrawal of the "checking points".

So pay more and get a reduced service....
Polly
