    Is it too late to start a campaign/petition about the proposed ending of census taking?

    A petition would be unlikely to be effective, not least because relatively few would sign, and even fewer would understand the issues on both sides.

    It would be much better if the users of the statistics that the ONS produces could be persuaded that having a census of some sort would greatly improve the quality of the data that they use. They're the people who the ONS is looking to please - apart from the Government who probably see this as a way of saving money, though I suspect it would be a money pit.
