What questions does the Census Ask?

The latest census asks 40 questions (41 if you are in Wales) across eight main categories: accommodation; household relationships; demographics; cultural characteristics; state of health/long-term illness; qualifications; employment/economic activity; workplace and journey to work. The forms from the 2001 census in England and Wales can be found at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/censusform.asp.
