This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We think that you want the 1951 population census to be published in 2031. We are not clear what you would like to happen to the "following censuses". You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for all census data to be published 80 years after the date of the census.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
