HC Deb 18 May 1931 vol 252 cc1601-2W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Health the number of householders who have refused to fill in any census forms at all on religious or other grounds?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am not as yet in a position to give any precise figures. So far, however, some 20 cases have been reported of which a number have been satisfactorily disposed of, while the remainder are under consideration with a view to legal proceedings.

and 17 and 18 to 64 respectively, excluding those unemployed. Separate statistics for those aged 18 to 21 are not available. The adjustment of the numbers of the various classes of workers employed is not a matter within my control.
