Welcome to the boards, Donna.


"The 1921 census will be exclusively available on Findmypast for up to three years (until 2025), after which The National Archives (TNA) will be able to set up deals with other partners such as Ancestry, The Genealogist or MyHeritage. As with previous record digitisation projects, such as the 1911 census release, Findmypast owns its transcription but the copyright for the images is with TNA. This means, when the exclusive relationship comes to an end, other competitors will have to license the images from TNA and the transcription from Findmypast (or, as Ancestry and The Genealogist did with 1911, create their own transcription)."

Personally, I doubt if it will ever be on GR, even though GR is owned by FMP.
That decision would be up to FMP.
