PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(10 June 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has made an assessment of the accuracy of the 2021 census, in the context of covid-19 lockdown measures.

Asked by:
Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

I have met with UK Statistics Authority / Office of National Statistics leadership regarding the future of the census and the 2031 census twice: in October 2024 and April 2025. As is longstanding practice, we do not publish minutes of such meetings.

The Office for Statistics Regulation published a report on Thursday 12 June setting out its post publication findings on the 2021 England and Wales Census, including the impact of the pandemic on the census.
