Me again - A guy who's name is Guy feels as I think the majority do, he was involved in getting the 1911 census released early, he added this

I wish people would stop repeating that totally inaccurate statement, it is nothing more than government propaganda.
The 100 year rule was not introduced until 1966.
The people in 1921 had never heard of a 100 year rule and earlier census were released to the general public well before 100 years.

The digitisation of the 1911 census was put out to tender as is the normal situation with such contracts. There were a number of bidders willing to undertake the digitisation and Brightsolid won the contract.

If the 1921 census was put out to tender today I am sure there would be a similar response with companies queuing up to tender.

So maybe it will happen sooner than later. Stay with us Dewey(there must be a Welsh connection there?) cheers Fred
