Dear All, The next meeting of the South Wales local group will be on Wednesday 21st February, 5-6pm (Tea at 4.30pm). Location: Tom Jones Conference Room, Local Government Data Unit Wales, 3-7 Columbus Walk, Cardiff. http://www.dataunitwales.gov.uk/eng/ContactUs.asp Speakers: Paul Smith and Stephen Penneck, Office for National Statistics Title: 100 years of the UK Census of Production Abstract The first Census of Production in the UK was taken for 1907. To mark the centenary we will review the evolution of the Census, considering the changes that have taken place and the pressures which have given rise to them. This evolution has led from an approximately five-yearly census which took several years to process to an annual census, then the introduction of sampling techniques, and in recent years ever greater pressure for centralisation, more outputs from the same sample sizes, and improved quality.
