Sexual Orientation And The 2011 Census (EDM1174)

Sexual Orientation And The 2011 Census

EDM number 1174 in 2006-07, proposed by Stephen Williams on 20/03/2007.

That this House is concerned about the decision of the Office of National Statistics to omit a question on sexual orientation from the next census; welcomes the inclusion of a question on civil partnerships but does not believe that this will provide an accurate picture of sexual orientation in the UK; believes that a question on sexual orientation would help to monitor equality legislation and improve service provision to lesbian, gay and bisexual people; and urges the Government to include a question on sexual orientation in the 2011 Census.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
