The 2011 Census
The next full census of England and Wales will take place in 2011 and includes a number of new approaches which will be evaluated during a rehearsal on 11 October 2009 with around 135,000 selected households in three local authority areas.
The 2009 Census Rehearsal will test, among other things, the questions we are asking, the accuracy of our address list for posting out questionnaires and the new internet services for getting help and completing questionnaires online.
