LOCKHEED MARTIN AND UK CENSUS COLLUSION

By Sarah Meyer

Index Research


Lockheed Martin is one of the shortlisted contractors to provide data capture and storage services for the United Kingdom 2011 Census.

Lockheed Martin has many contracts with the United States Department of Defense. The company is involved with contracts in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

The UK Green Party has assembled a petition. They are concerned that census submissions will not be safe from being incorporated into the US integrated systems. “Most worrying is their claim to deliver 'integrated threat information' to the US military by combining and analysing a wide range of intelligence information from around the world,” says their statement.

EU-US PNR agreement: US changes the privacy rules to exemption access to personal data ,
- USA to give exemptions for the Department of Home Security from its Privacy Act
- USA to give exemptions for the "Arrival and Departure System" (ADIS) from its Privacy Act
- Did the EU know that the US was planning to introduce these exemptions?
Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments: "The adoption of these two exemptions will seriously diminsh any rights EU citizens have to find out what data is held on them and who it is held by.
Did the Council and the Commission, who negotiated the agreement, know the US was planning to introduce them, and if not why not?"
