UK Statistics Authority (2011 Census)

Wednesday 4th March 2015 Written Statements

[The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General (Mr Francis Maude)]

The UK Statistics Authority has published the general report of the 2011 census.

The general report is the official, and comprehensive, account of the 2011 census in England and Wales. It reviews the entire census operation and provides a wealth of detail about how the census was carried out and what lessons have been learned.

It is aimed at both the experienced and occasional user of census data, but it is hoped the wider public may also find the report useful and informative.

This general report is being laid before both Houses of Parliament pursuant to the Census Act 1920.
