HC Deb 08 May 2002 vol 385 c251W
Mr. Edward Davey

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if the costs of enhancement of the 1901 Census website since 2 January will be met by QinetiQ; and if the contract with QinetiQ prohibits an increase in user fees from those already announced. [51562]

Ms Rosie Winterton

The costs of the enhancements to the 1901 census website, which are intended to make the site sufficiently robust to permit general Internet access, are being met in full by the contractor QinetiQ. The user fees are fixed by a statutory instrument and therefore cannot be increased.
