HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 c62W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider classifying all exiled Ukranians in Great Britain under the heading "Ukranian." and not under the heading "Russians" as in previous censuses.

Sir George Young

The 1981 census will ask persons born outside the United Kingdom and Irish Republic to give the current name of the country in which their birthplace is now situated. There are no plans to classify separately persons stating that they were born in the Ukraine. Such persons would not be classified as Russians but would be shown as having been born in what is now the USSR.
