§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the 1991 census information will be made available to community charge officials in England and Wales; whether census officials expect to use the community charge register; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. CurrieIt would be an offence under section 8(2) of the Census Act 1920 for the Office of Pupulation Censuses and Surveys to pass census information about identified persons or households to community charge officials. The office has no plans to use community charge registers in carrying out the 1991 census.
