public service, we are able to charge for some statutory services (as defined by the
Public Records Act ) on a cost recovery basis. The Fees Order, which regulates our fees,
has been refreshed from the last calculation which came into effect 1 April 2017. We are
maintaining the standard approach in line with the HM Treasury publication, Managing
Public Money, to set charges at a level that will recover full costs, ensuring that The
National Archives neither profits at the expense of consumers nor makes a loss for
taxpayers to subsidise.

£27.15 which is regulated to be the cost recovery price (i.e. the cost to The National
Archives doing the work).
