2011 CENSUS AND LOCKHEED MARTIN

Early day motion 1185, tabled 13 March 2008 by Diane Abbott (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House is concerned at the possibility that American company Lockheed Martin will win the contract for the 2011 Census; notes that the company is heavily involved in the production of missiles and integrated threat information; further notes that 80 per cent. of the company's business is with the US Administration; believes that due to the nature of the company many people in the UK will not feel confident in providing personal information for the Census; and calls on the Office of National Statistics to avoid contracting the 2011 Census to Lockheed Martin.
