Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Census Regulations 1990 for England and Wales to allow for completed census forms to be returned by post where within any census district the number of enumerators is insufficient to collect all the forms by visiting the dwellings or premises concerned within a week after census day.

The Regulations insert a new regulation 13A in the principal Regulations. Regulation 13A(1) specifies the circumstances in which that regulation applies to an enumeration district. Regulation 13A(2) to (4) set out the details of the procedure. Regulation 13A(5) makes consequential provision for forms returned under this procedure to be treated as if they had been collected by the enumerator.

These amending Regulations come into force for the purposes of the census which is to be taken for Great Britain on 21st April 1991 pursuant to the Census Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/243).
