That this House notes that the Freedom of Information Act 2000 repealed the 100-year closure period for decennial Census records; further notes that the Department for Constitutional Affairs and the National Archives assert that it is Government policy that the 1911 Census shall remain closed to inspection for 100 years; and urges the Information Commissioner to take an early opportunity to publish his advice on this matter.
