(3) The district council shall secure that throughout the period for which the contract operates—
(a)a copy of the certificate which has been issued is open to inspection by members of the public at all reasonable times without payment; and
(b)members of the public are afforded facilities for obtaining copies of that certificate on payment of a reasonable fee.
