They're not going to be able to dig up much of use at all in that time and really, by the time you factor the other things in it looks like they'll struggle to fit in all of the interviews, let alone any research.

Before I decided to leave the rat race I worked for a government debt agency for some years and I could get all your addresses, employment details, Tax and sickness/unemployment records in a matter of minutes by just knowing your national insurance number. If I only knew your date of birth and address it could take a few minutes more.
As I had access to so much data the safe guards in place to stop unauthorised trawling for confidential information were strictly imposed but the portals to access the data held by different government agencys have been in place for some time.
