Who stays at my home, is my business and is totally irrelevant to the head count, which is the whole purpose of the census.
The rest of the form does not bother me and will be completed

The guy from the council knocked asking me to sign for receipt of an electoral register but I told him that I wasn't giving my signature to some stranger who has my name & address! He told me that failure to sign could end up with me getting a visit from the police, I told him to go ahead, i said "you know where I live"!!
Never heard owt back from them.
Wether it's lawful or not I don't give a damn & it's no-ones business whose staying at me hoose or how much I earn or any of the other intrusive q's.

I am not being negative. My number is Ex Directory, so I am not going to put it on the form. My mobile is for the very select few

How can you stop all the census info getting in to the public domain? I'm ok to fill it in, just not with any old nonce having access to my personal data

Are you aware that when the form arrives at Census HQ, it is OPENED by a machine, READ by a machine and turned into statistics by another machine?
At no time can anyone access YOUR data unless you commit a criminal act and it will help with your prosecution, AND they can show there is no other way to go after you.
Otherwise, the data is stored as statistics and they can only access it in the form of, "How many men aged between 21 and 50 live in area XXXXXXX?"

When does this have to be sent back by to avoid the fine? I only found out I had to do it when my parents asked me if i'd done it and I said I hadn't even opened it. I treated it like all the other spam in the post and chucked it to one side. Not happy I HAVE to do this, what a complete load of utter boll0cks.

Interestingly your data can still be accessed by request by Intelligence services in UK and abroad under various bits of terrorism legislation. The data has apparently been protected from requests under the patriot act but how well is hard to decipher.
