Abstract

The 2001 Census in England and Wales asked a question on religion for the first time since 1851. This paper takes an empirically rich look at the process that led to the reintroduction of this question into the Census. Drawing on official documents and interviews with key figures in the process, it discusses the extent to which minority groups were able to influence the form and content of the census. The conclusion reached is that in terms of the official consultation process, the faith communities did not present a strong enough case for the inclusion of a question on religion. The intervention of political factors, however, was the key to its success, and religion is now part of the statistical picture of England and Wales. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
