The results of the 2001 Census for parishes in England and communities in Wales form part of the series of reports to Parliament. Although the remaining release timetable is currently under review, it is planned to release the parish results in March 2004.
Results for many parishes can already be derived using the results for small areas published in August-September 2003, together with information also available from the Office for National Statistics on how these small areas relate to parishes.
