There's still time to complete the census

Sunday 21 March was Census Day and millions of people across England and Wales completed the census. We are pleased with how it is going so far but will continue to work hard to ensure the best possible completion rates. It's certainly not over yet. Thank you to all LAs once again, for your continued support.

Deputy National Statistician, Iain Bell, said: "Every household should have received their letter inviting them to take part and we’ve had a great response so far. If you haven't completed it yet, or you have misplaced your letter, there’s still time."
