§ MR. HENRY HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board when the 1891 Census Returns of the population of the several parishes in England and Wales are likely to be published, and why their publication has been so long delayed?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. H. H. FOWLER,) Wolverhampton, E.I am informed by the Registrar General that he hopes to be able to present to Parliament the volumes of the detailed Census Reports which relate to area, houses, and population of parishes in April next. This will be some weeks earlier than was the case with the corresponding volumes of the Report of the Census in 1881, though several fresh items of information will be included in the Report relating to the Census of 1891.
