Unlocking the Past: The 1901 Census Online
“The project to provide online access to the 1901 census was ambitious and, ultimately, successful. In implementing the project, the Public Record Office and its contractor QinetiQ encountered a number of problems which they managed to resolve eventually. It is important that the wider public sector learns the lessons from this project when implementing projects to provide access to services online. Looking forward, the National Archives should also consider these lessons if it decides to provide online access to the results of the 1911 census.”

Update on PFI debt refinancing and the PFI equity market
“This report gives an update on how much money the public sector has recouped from PFI debt refinancings which I am pleased to say resulted from work carried out by the NAO and the Public Accounts Committee.

We will continue to monitor future developments in the PFI debt and equity markets including the trends in financing costs as these are an important component of all PFI deals. More information on PFI investors’ costs and benefits will assist an understanding of how the market is functioning”
