In your May 2016 “ONS Census Transformation Programme - 2021 Census Assessment of initial user requirements on content for England and Wales Ethnicity and National Identity topic” report page 8 it is stated that:
“From across the consultation responses specific requests for additional options within the ethnicity question included; Anglo-Irish, Cornish, Cypriot, Eastern European, English, Gypsy, Irish Traveller, Jewish, Kashmiri, Latin American, Orthodox Jewish, Roma, Sikh, Somali, Turkish, Western European, White Cornish, White European and Yemeni. Some respondents also advocated allowing respondents to tick multiple categories and removal of the use of colour terminology.”
Can you please provide further details of the organisations, groups and/or individuals who have responded or discussed the specific request for additional options for the classification “Cypriot”.
