2011 Census hits next parliamentary milestone
The Draft Census Order, which will allow the next census to take place
in England and Wales in 2011, was laid before Parliament on 21 October by
Cabinet Office Minister Angela E Smith.
The laying of the Draft Census Order is the latest stage in the legislative
process that will enable the census to take place in 2011 – when over
25 million households across England and Wales will be asked to
complete and return a census questionnaire.
The 2011 Census proposals include seven new questions, two about
the household; number of bedrooms, and type of central heating and
five about the residents; passports held, national identity, year of entry
to the U.K and intended length of stay for recent arrivals, main language
and whether or not they have a second residence.
