F O R
Please complete this form and have it ready for collection on Monday, 26th April, if you need help
do not hesitate to ask the enunierator.
The enumerator may ask you any questions necessary to help him to complete or correct the form.
If a house, flat, apartment, etc.. Is occupied by two or more households, then each occupier must make
a separate Return applicable to his accommodation. Boarders are not to be considered as separate
occupiers but as part of the household with which they board.
The information you give on the form will be treated as C O N F I D E N T I A L and used only for compiling
statistics. No information about named individuals will be passed by the Census Office to any other
Government Department or any other Authority or person. If anyone in the census organisation improperly
discloses information you provide, he will be liable to prosecution. Similarly you must not disclose information which anyone (for example, a visitor or boarder) gives you to enable you to complete the form.
The legal obligation to fill in the whole form rests on Y O U , but each person who has to be included is
required to give you the information you need. However, anyone who wishes can ask the enumerator
or the local Census Officer for an individual form which can be returned direct to the enumerator or local
Census Officer and then you need answer only questions B1 and 83 for that person. There is no penalty
for refusing to state religious profession.
