The Registrars General of England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland agreed to conduct Censuses simultaneously throughout the UK in 2011.

To achieve this, a number of UK-wide Committees were set up to consider different areas of census development where common methodologies and approaches could be adopted.
