Petition Action

1921 census

Additional Information

To the Right Honourable Gentlemen of the House of Commons

I have created this petition to ask that a consideration be taken into releasing the 1921 census early.

2022 is still an incredibly long way away and whilst I understand the need for confidentiality, the majority of those born in 1921 or before 1921 have passed away and therefore their identity and personal details will not be comprimised

The 1921 census is the most detailed census taken and will be of benefit to both genealogists and social historians as it gives us an image of Britain before the war and was the last census taken until 1951

I thank you for listening and hope this petition will make a difference
