It'll be flogged to anyone who wants it: <br /><br />Read the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee Official Statistics: 2011<br />Census Questions<br /><br />Memorandum from the Demographics User Group <br /><br />The value of the Census and its questions to commercial companies<br />1. The Demographics User Group (DUG)1 represents the views on matters relating to official<br />statistics, of major commercial companies – Barclays, Boots, Co-operative Group, E.ON, John<br />Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, The Children’s Mutual, and Whitbread – which<br />make extensive use of the Census.<br />2. These and many thousands of other companies turn to the Census to provide information<br />when making vital business decisions, such as:<br />• Where are the best places for our new outlets?<br />• Which branches should we close?<br />• What products and services should we be offering in each of our existing stores?<br />• Where should we advertise?<br />• Who are our best customers, and our best prospects?<br />• Which areas and people should we survey?<br />These issues are typical for the commercial world, but there are also close parallels amongst<br />public services. (Further illustrations are given in a paper “Meeting the needs of Census users<br />in the UK’s private sector”).2 These are of course commercial decisions, but ensuring that<br />evidence exists, and is freely available, promotes business efficiency, and in some cases, the<br />UK’s position as a worldwide leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232613925790974435.post-42492880490414797062011-03-07T23:31:31.642+00:002011-03-07T23:31:31.642+00:00Here is how I shall be dealing with them.

I am a mentally ill agrophobic person who was abused in all ways from baby to adult, i reported and was never believed at the time, and even though others years later also accused my abuser of abuse, they still went unpunished for what they did to me, they claim too much time had passed to prosecute, even though i know peopple are being prosecuted 10/20 years later. to top that off, I was refused sychiatric treatment cause the government could not afford £3.70 for a escort/carer to take me to appointments. I am diagnosed with post traumatic stress, Cronic anxiety and i am agrophobic. But they have got thousand of pounds to send drug addicts and alcoholics to centres for treatment. My condition is not self inflicted like thiers are and i have never turned to crime as a result of my abuse. I only asked for help, nothing more. So the system wont help me, I wont help it, and the government is part of the system as far as i am concerned, and so is the police. I refused this year to go on electoral role, not to avoid debt, but as a rebellion against conformatism. but some how i am on it. love to know who supplied them. but it dont take a genius to work that out, Obviously, the council did. So i will point blank refuse and take any consequencies, and if they jail me, I will declare independence and declare war on the government, and you read in the papers what happens when a mentally ill person finally flips. so i will say no more for now.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232613925790974435.post-469612513694162162011-01-03T17:13:41.043+00:002011-01-03T17:13:41.043+00:00Hi Amanda - I do know perfectly well what councils...Hi Amanda - I do know perfectly well what councils do.
