looks like we will not be having one now.
cabinet office minister francis maude believes that there are more cost effective and efficient means of gaining the information.
credit reference agencies and the post office were mentioned.
I think they are going ahead in 2011 but will not have any more after that so it looks as if you will still get your chance Sid.
Here is a part of the Telegraph report:
"""""""Instead, the Government is examining different and cheaper ways to count the population more regularly, using existing public and private databases, including credit reference agencies.
It will represent a historic shift in the way that information about the nation's population, religion and social habits is gathered.
The suggestion is likely to be approved by Cabinet next week. It will be too late to prevent the next Census on March 27, 2011 from going ahead, although Mr Maude said he was looking at ways of reducing the £482million cost. """""""""""
