HC Deb 21 August 1894 vol 29 c165
SIR F. S. POWELL (Wigan)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has considered the expediency of instituting a Census giving the numbers of the population at the expiration of five years from the Census of 1891; and whether he is prepared to propose such a Census?

MR. SHAW-LEFEVRE

The question of the expediency of instituting a Census giving the number of the population in 1896 will be considered.
