HC Deb 14 April 1981 vol 3 c124W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he proposes to prosecute those who have publicly burnt their census forms in the Province.

Mr. Alison

Until the collection of the census forms has been completed and checked it will not be possible to identify those householders who have burnt or otherwise refused to complete their census forms. The case for prosecutions will then be considered.
