Closed 1921 census

Closed on

Amend the 1920 Census Act to make the publication of the census data exempt from the 100 year rule such that the data can be published now.

It is already 90 years since that 1921 census. the 1931 census data for England was destroyed and no census took place in 1941.

2022 is far too late considering there are no other census until the 1951 one. Many people that are on the 1921 census are not around now to issues of peoples rights should not be affected!
