There is an article in the online FT today that may interest some of you (see the subject headline). I don't know whether you can access this, as I am a subscriber: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/380c2bd4-116b-11e3-a14c-00144feabdc0.html?siteedition=uk#axzz2dfsPfWBo Chris

So, to summarise:     The headline is:   "Internet survey could replace census. ONS looks at alternative data instead of once-a-decade questionnaire"   A consultation by the ONS is to propose two options to replace the census. This, unlike a previous report, won't keep the existing arrangement. The two options are to be: an internet survey or a collation of alternative sources.   Objections are that these options may not provide the existing richness of data ('granular data'),  government may not be given enough information to formulate policy, and vulnerable groups may be most impacted.     So there you are.     Chris
