We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund free access to the 1921 census in all public libraries
As part of the Government's "levelling up" agenda, all census information should be made available to all citizens for free.
More details
The information gathered by the 1921 census at public expense is only freely available at three locations: The National Archives London, Manchester Central Library, and the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
It is otherwise available online for "a small fee", although not all would agree that the fee is "small".
This has created a two-tier pricing system, where those who live in London, Manchester, and Aberystwyth effectively get free access, and everyone else has to pay.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
