Land Registry Petition -- Privatisation could raise prices outside reach of private individuals

As most of you will know, the Land Registry has a website that holds the deeds and information on most properties in the UK. This is hugely useful when you need to know the name of the owners, what they paid for the land, whether it's freehold and even if there is a mortgage on the property. Not something you use every day unless you're a lawyer or an Estate Agent, but at the moment you have it at a cost of just £4 per time when you need it. You get the reply instantly, as well. There is an online petition available if you would like further details and the opportunity to register your view. The petition is at https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-the-land-registry-from-privatisation?bucket=

It's one of those things...once it's gone it's gone, we'll never get it back or it will cost something like 192.com where you end up paying tens of pounds just to access one enquiry that might not even be registered (been there yourself?).
