FeesAccess to the MBR is free, however search fees may be charged for handling detailed or lengthy enquiries or those undertaken for commercial purposes. Every effort will be made to provide comprehensive information, but the MBR is an evolving resource and material held in it is in varying stages of completeness and accessibility.
