Hello Michael, As I understand it the 1921 census will never be released, there is an Act of Parliament preventing the release of any of its information. Has anyone heard anything to the contrary? Regards, Mick.

Hi Mick From a freedom of information application in 2008 (which was turned down) part of the response was as follows :- The ONS has advised the Commissioner of its intention to release the entirety of the 1921 census returns in 2022, in accordance with the non-statutory ‘100 year rule’ which was adopted to reflect this undertaking of confidentiality. The practice of employing the 100 year rule has been inplace for the census since 1962 (for the 1861 census). Since 1981 the Registrar General has assured the public that census information will be held in confidence for 100 years. The ONS has advised the Commissioner that, in its view, response rates for future census returns will be adversely affected if itfails to honour this pledge.

Hi Nivard I know your reply wasn't aimed at me, but I'm pleased to hear that it will be released. Just a shame about the wait.
