HL Deb 04 March 1999 vol 597 cc196-7WA
Lord Teviot

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to make available the 1901 census to the public on microform or in other machine readable form at the Family Records Centre. [HL1180]

The Lord Chancellor

The Public Record Office will make the 1901 census available at the Family Records Centre on the first working day of 2002. The current plan is for this to be by an on-line internet service, but beyond that, no decision has been made on the form of service there.
