SUMMARY This paper describes the 1991 census in England and Wales: how it was planned and implemented and how its results are being assessed. The description brings out the tradeoffs that are necessary in undertaking a census, and some respects in which plans for a census in 2001 will need to take account of experience of that in 1991.
