I have been made aware of this e-petition requesting cheaper access to GRO information for research purposes.
It might be of interest to FHUG members:

There's a website called LostCousins. The guy sends out a monthly newsletter, sometimes interesting...

In April he wrote:

'BMD certificates - the saga continues' which notes that a later petition is 'better'

Thanks Chris, that's interesting. I suppose there's nothing to stop people signing both petitions!
I agree that scanning and putting records online is probably the better way forward.
