Letter from Glen Watson, dated December 2012:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which has responsibility for the Census for England and Wales, I have been asked to reply to your recent question.
The population of the London Borough of Westminster as estimated at the 2011 Census and published on 24 September was 219,396. The 99 per cent confidence interval for Westminster is ± 3.9 per cent. This equates to a population range of between 210,800 and 228,000. The more usual measure of 95 per cent confidence is for Westminster ± 3.0 per cent, equating to a range of population of between 212,800 and 226,000.

As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which has responsibility for the Census, I have been asked to reply to your recent question to the Minister for the Cabinet Office asking when he intends to conduct a review of the 2011 Census and proposals for the format of the next census. (122064)
An ONS review of the 2011 Census in England and Wales is already in progress and a number of evaluations were published on the ONS website on 16 July. Further evaluations will be published as they become available. A General Report of the 2011 Census will be published by March 2014. In addition, the National Audit Office has recently conducted its own review of the 2011 Census and is expected to publish a report shortly.
At this stage it is too early to know whether or not there will be another Census in England and Wales. All the signs are that the 2011 Census in England and Wales has been a great success.
Nonetheless in common with many other countries there are concerns that a census is becoming increasingly costly and difficult to carry out. A more mobile population and the increasingly complex ways in which people live are making the process of census taking more and more challenging. There may also be opportunities to produce statistics in other ways, for example by using data about the population that government already holds.
ONS established the Beyond 2011 Programme on 1st April 2011 to assess options for meeting future user needs for population and small area socio-demographic statistics in England and Wales. During the first phase, which runs from 2011 to 2014, the programme will assess users' requirements and consider the best way of meeting these needs. The options under consideration include full or partial use of linked data from existing government administrative sources, the use of an address register with surveys, a short-form census with continuous surveys, and the retention of a traditional census.
Users of census statistics will be consulted before any recommendation is made. A report setting out the recommendation arising from the first phase of the programme will be published in 2014.

I appreciate that these issues are sensitive and that the Minister will therefore not necessarily want to name each and every local authority, but would it be fair to say that the local authorities that have expressed concern tend to be urban and therefore have the particular characteristics I referred...

Some, but not exclusively—some are inner city authorities, but some are district authorities. There may be other causes of churn, which we will continue to look at. Other urban authorities—for example, Newham—have welcomed what they regard as an
improvement in methodology. I recognise that particular circumstances apply to each case,...

Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated July 2012:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which has responsibility for the Census, I have been asked to reply to your recent question to the Minister for the Cabinet Office asking what account the census will take of the illegal immigrant population (117431).
The Office for National Statistics mailed out 2011 census questionnaires to all residential address using an address list compiled from other national sources such as the Royal Mail, Ordnance Survey and the National Land and Property Gazetteer. Thus most, if not all, residential properties, including those containing immigrant households, will have been counted in the 2011 Census. Indeed the Census is the only nationally consistent source of the number of immigrants and their families in the country at the local area level.
One of the main purposes of the Census is to identify the level of need for different services within the community, and this applies as much to immigrants as to other sections of the population. Particular attention was given in the 2011 Census to developing a community liaison programme to ensure that all immigrant communities were aware of the census and their statutory obligation to complete a census questionnaire. We recognised at the time, however, that, despite this statutory obligation some people may not have wished to make themselves known to us, and so we worked closely with local community organisations to make particular efforts to tell people that the information they give in the census would be treated as strictly confidential and would not be shared with anyone else.
However, we are able to estimate the numbers and characteristics of persons who were missed in the census by undertaking a separate and independent Census Coverage Survey, and the estimates of population and households published in the first release of statistics from the 2011 Census on 16 July takes account of these. Of .course, the census did not include a specific question about legal immigrant status, so we will not be able provide any statistics, from census information, that would distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what estimate he has made of the number of people who have been (a) fined and (b) prosecuted as a result of not completing the 2011 Census.
