ALGAO is in no position to dictate to local authorities what they charge and how.

According to this HER's should charge no more than 10p a photocopy. However, the Surrey HER sits within a Heritage service and I have always kept in line with their photocopy pricing structure. It may get to a situation where visitors in the HER are paying one price (10p) and the archive in the same building is charging much more and in some cases we hold similar information. Just wondering what people's opinions were on the situation and what they have previously charged for photocopying and are planning to do in the future?
