wales grew more than threefold to around 32 million and that of scotland where a separate census has been carried out since 1861 to about 4 5 million from 1911 onwards rapid social change scientific breakthroughs and major world events affected the structure of the population a fire that destroyed census records in 1931 and the declaration of war in 1939 made the 1951 census hugely significant in recording 30 years of change over one of the most turbulent periods in british history the 1971 census was run by the newly created office of population censuses and surveys opcs a body formed by the merger of the general register office and government social survey in 1996 the office for national statistics ons was formed by merging the central statistical office cso opcs and the statistics division of the department of employment the first census it ran was in 2001 2 in 2008 the uk statistics authority was established as an independent body purpose edit a population census is a key instrument for assessing the needs of local communities when related to other data sources such as housing or agricultural censuses or sample surveys the data becomes even more useful most countries
