Abstract
THE Census (Great Britain) Bill, making provision for the taking of the census of 1911, was read a first time in the House of Commons on March 4. The Act for the last census, that of 1901, provided that the schedule should require the following particulars, and no others:—“(a) the name, sex, age, profession or occupation, condition as to marriage, relation to head of family, birthplace, and (where the person was born abroad) nationality of every living person who abode in every house on the night of the census day; and (b) whether any person who so abode was blind or deaf and dumb, or imbecile or lunatic; and (c) where the occupier is in occupation of less than five rooms, the number of rooms occupied by him; and (d) in the case of Wales or the county of Monmouth, whether any person who so abode (being of three years of age or upwards) speaks English only or Welsh only, or both English and Welsh”—a provision suitably modified in the case of Scotland by a reference to the speaking of Gaelic instead of Welsh.
