I call for all census data to be published 80 years after the date of the census

Petition Details

The 1921 census to be published in 2021 will be the last for 30 years. The 1931 census was destroyed by fire and there wasn't a 1941 census due to World War 2. We should come into line with the American Federal Census whose 1950 census will be published in 2020.

Additional Information

The 1951 census should be published in 2031 to keep the 10 continuity. The census period would then be every 80 years before publication. The average age of people living is between 70 and 80 years. So you wouldn't contravene privacy laws.
