§ Mr. Molsonasked the Secretary of State for India if the same information was collected in the 1941 census as in the 1931 census; whether the census was analysed and published; and whether work upon it is still continuing.
§ Mr. AmeryThe form of the information collected in the 1941 Census of India differed in several respects from that obtained in earlier censuses, but the information collected was no less complete than on the previous occasions. The circumstances of the war, however, decided the Government of India to limit the All-India tabulation of the results to the extent indicated by the Tables published in Volume I, Part I, of the "Census of India, 1941," a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House. It is understood that the Government of India do not intend to proceed with any further tabulation at present.
