Petition to reduce classified period for census data........?

Question:

Petition to reduce classified period for census data........?

.......from 100 to 70 years.
This would allow census information from 1911, 1921 and 1931 to be used by the general public researching their family history in the absense (or failing memories) of their elderly relatives. (Currently we would have to wait another 6 to 26 years for this information).

(I wasn't sure if I could add this petition on Y!A but have seen the road petition on here, so figured it's ok).

Same for me, my grandfather was born out of wedlock so that's all very hush-hush. Then later in life he left his wife and children when my mum was 13 so we know very little about him. The 1911 census has all the answers I need! Please pass the petition onto everyone you know! Thanks and good luck with your search x

Unfortunately yes, only British citizens or residents can sign.
