: When I pointed out to my MP that some of the 1901 census transcription
: had been done by people on the Indian sub-continent, who did not have
: English as a mother tongue and who had no experience of English place
: names, occupations and personal names, he was frankly incredulous. I
: suggested he put a parliamentary question on this. Here it is with the
: reply...
:
: DL: "To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department,
: how much of the work to transcribe the 1901 census returns on to
: computer was carried on outside the United Kingdom; and if she will make
: a statement."
:
: Ms. Rosie Winterton (PS, Lord Chancellor's Dept):" QinetiQ Ltd appointed
: Enterprise and Supply Services (ESS) to undertake the transcription of
: the data from the 1901 Census returns. A proportion of this work was
: sub-contracted by ESS after full competitive tendering to a commercial
: data input company based in India and Sri Lanka (Hays Document
: Management). The proportion of transcription work undertaken outside the
: United Kingdom was 78%"
:
: Yes folks that really is seventy eight percent!
