2011 United Kingdom census
The 2011 census for England and Wales included around 25 million households. Forms were posted out to all households, using a national address register compiled by the Office for National Statistics with the help of local authorities.  Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract to provide services for the census: printing, a  contact centre and data capture and processing. The contract was for £150 million, about one third of the total £482 million cost.  Some people called for a boycott of the census over the involvement of Lockheed Martin, but as the Census is used to distribute money to local services a council may lose £22,000 over 10 years for each person who does not complete it.
