How long does this PM privacy commission run for?

Can radio 4 discover how many gagging injunctions have been issued since 1980?
i.e. before and after H.R.A. under Freedom of Information ?
How long do they last? Must the recipient wait for the death of the ex parte?
It was vaguely refered to as 300 p.a. by one legal presenter
The simple gagging injunction does not seek to gag the press it forbids the recipient to communicate and inform. This means excemption from enquiry by Authorities.
c.f. The F.S.A. cannot say who paid for a certain injunction even if it was funded by the tax payer. Naturally anyone who uses funds to protect themselves should be open to Inland Revenue and F.S.A. My experience is that even Registrars in R.C.J. will not continue if a previous gagging order is produced.
Please could the injunctions be classified into those to protect a professional practice(legal),to protect a celebrity reputation, to protect commercial standing,pension etc. I have wondered if when a storm is brewing e.g. like the off shore tax troubles that were beginning to flame at the election, died down when it was realised that it would not look good if the government was renting buildings for which the tax payer would not receive even the tax and VaT from the offshore landlords Did they take out injunctions?
The terms gagging and super while descriptive do not have a legal definition

And the transcript will follow when?

Would a gagged individual face a spell in prison if they gave evidence without the paid help of Max Clifford

Please will the Questioners ask each witness How many injunctions have they actually seen? Not how many have they instigated, or received, but how many can they swear exist?
Perhaps they are a fee raising myth of the legal Profession
