Decennial Census Records

EDM number 1198 in 2005-06, proposed by Mike Hancock on 05/12/2005.

That this House notes that the Freedom of Information Act 2000 repealed the 100-year closure period for decennial census records, but that, nevertheless, the Department for Constitutional Affairs and the National Archives assert that it is Government policy that the 1911 Census shall remain closed to inspection for 100 years; and urges the Information Commissioner to take an early opportunity to publish his advice on this matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 182 MPs.
