Did anyone pick up any press reports of this? The document is on ONS' web
site. Apparently they are going to save 20 million pounds a year by
privatising their library, information service, marketing, press office
and computing/IT support. This will save them lots of money to do
lots more analyses, or so the story goes. Apparently all these services
can be provided in the private sector at a fraction of the cost, according
to KPMG. Could there perhaps be some little snag here?
