HC Deb 05 May 1981 vol 4 c11W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the numbers of present or former tax inspectors, Customs and Excise officers, immigration officers, rating and valuation officers, police officers and sales representatives employed as enumerators during the census.

Sir George Young

No. This information is not available centrally and would be costly to collect. Serving police officers were ineligible for appointment as census enumerators.

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if information on census forms relating to professional or other qualifications which is specific to a particular form of employment will be used for any surveys of persons (a) currently in such an employment or (b) to ascertain why they are no longer in such employment; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

No such surveys are contemplated in England and Wales.
