HC Deb 17 April 1913 vol 51 cc2105-6
39. Mr. BOWERMAN

asked when it is intended that the Census Records (England and Wales) of 1861 and 1871 will be transferred from the custody of the Registrar-General to the Record Office, so that they may be made available for search by the general public and for proving the age of claimants for old age pensions?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I understand there would not be sufficient accommodation at the Record Office to house the Census Records of 1861 and 1871 as the hon. Member suggests.
