Hi I live in the UK please Please give your attention to this advice.I have written to my MP urging him to get this Early Day Motion.please please pass it on.The more people we ask the more people will listen.Thank you for reading this.take care bye for now Lesley :) ********************** A House of Commons debate on the release of the 1911 census find out who your MP is by giving your post code, or online at http://www.locata.co.uk/commons/ Alistair Carmichael MP (LDEM, Orkney & Shetland) has secured an end of day adjournment debate on the release of the 1911 census. This will be on Monday, 29th March. It will start at approximately 10pm (when most MPs will have left the House) and last for 30 minutes. Mr Carmichael will give a 15 minute speech and then a Government minister will respond. So please urge your MP to sign this Early Day Motion (EDM) within the next few days. That this House notes that the average closure period for pre-1911 UK decennial population census records is 80 years; that informants were not guaranteed that the 1911 census records would be closed for 100 years; that the release of the 1911 Census Online for England & Wales in 2004/5 would be likely to generate between £10m and £40m in revenue before the scheduled release date of 2012; and urges the Lord Chancellor and the Registrar General to use their existing powers, under section 5(1) of the Public Records Act 1958, to arrange for the early release of the 1911 Census Online, thus making the most of a golden opportunity to generate very substantial income between 2004 and 2012 from those records. Make sure that your MP knows that the average closure period for UK censuses is 80 years.
