Include a 'Cornish' tick box on the 2021 U.K. census.
All Cornish people to accurately record their ethnicity on the 2021 census by including a 'Cornish' tick box.
Parliament has, in March of 2014, granted minority status to all Cornish people however this legislation needs to be enacted to the fullest. Without accurately being able to record our ethnicity in the census our ancestry, history and culture is further being forgotten. Cornish peoples have a long and proud history within the U.K. and it is the firm wish of many to able to express this on legal documentation.
