In 2011 the Conservative government announced that due to privacy concerns the long form census would no longer be mandatory. It would be replaced by a short form census that would only collect basic demographic data.Opponents of the census include civil liberty advocates who argue that the long form census is too invasive and violates people’s privacy. Proponents of reinstating the census voluntary survey argue that without the mandatory long form census it’s harder to track trends in income inequality, immigrant outcomes in the jobs market, labour shortages and demographic shifts.

No, Census should just be enumerating citizens for deciding how many MP Constituencies are needed.

Yes, the information is vital for economists, scientists, statisticians and the government to accurately make important policy decisions, but it should only be required every 5 years and easier to complete online.
