Parliament will make the final decisions on the content and questions to be asked in the 2011 Census. The Census Order which includes details about the topics and questions to be asked will be laid before Parliament in October, debated and approved towards the end of 2009 and then made by the Privy Council in January 2010 The Census questionnaires form part of the Census Regulations which will be approved by Parliament in Spring 2010.

Anyway why are you so bothered about it now .. its 2 years off not 2 weeks or 2 months off.
So they can change it to ask any questions they like, so this rehearsal questionnair is just a this is what it might be.

Why not ask the questions way in advance, why wait till its weeks / Months away, I am also concerend who will be storing this data.

There are no names on these things, just the address of the household. You fill in the names of those who live there at that time from 1 day old to 121 years old - everybody. You lie you're in trouble.
As has already been said above it is the law and you HAVE to fill it in. Like you said, your details are held by various organisations already so what is the problem??
I would also have presumed the second home question would be for 30 consecutive days??
I have not filled one in before that I can remember (maybe I was added on one by my parents, maybe I slipped the net?).

There are No names - There are names??? it wants everybodys name and details who live at the address.

As defended before just because its LAW doesnt mean you cannot challange it.

My problem is Its my choice to give other organisations my details, and not as in this much detail, the problem is I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE with this census.

The second home question asks, "Do you stay at another address for more than 30 days a year". (not consecutive by the look of it).
