Letter from Stephen Penneck, Director General for ONS, to Lord Stoddart of Swindon, dated February 2011.
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking whether the details of the 2011 Census will be made available to all members of the European Union. [CO] HL6704
Under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on population and housing censuses, the UK and all other member states are required to make available to Eurostat, by the end of March 2014, a set of standardised statistical outputs derived from a census or comparable statistical sources relating to the year 2011. The specific form and content of these tabulations are set out in two Commission Regulations, (EC) No. 1201/2009 of 30 November 2009 and (EU) No. 519/2010 of 16 June 2010. The National Statistician will use statistical data from the 2011 Census to meet this obligation on behalf of the UK.
