Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 15 December 2010.
Census
- Question
- My Lords, why cannot the census questions be amended in such a way whereby we can secure far higher levels of electoral registration, particularly when in the future we are going over to the new system of individual registration?
- Answer
-
There is no interrelationship between the electoral register and the census at the moment. I do not know whether the National Statistician has considered that possibility, but both act under totally different powers vested in them by Parliament. The confidentiality of one list, as opposed to the other, must be respected.
