asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will reconsider the standard level of charge for providing copies of the marked register and lists of returned postal votes at elections; and whether they will return discretion over the charges to the relevant local authorities. [HL4450]

The Government intend to consult shortly on the issue of charges for provision of copies of the marked register (including the marked register of returned postal votes). That consultation will seek views on a number of possible options for the future, including the possibility of reverting to local discretion on charging and the level of any fees.
