Future cancellation of the Citizenship Survey

Following the Secretary of State's consideration of the responses received to the Department's recent public consultation, The Future of the Citizenship Survey, the Survey, which is a complex and expensive survey to run, will be cancelled.

As part of the current drive to deliver cost savings across government and to reduce the fiscal deficit, research budgets are being closely scrutinised to identify where savings can be made. For this reason, and the belief that priority data from this survey can either be dropped; collected less frequently; or collected via other means, the intention is for future Citizenship Surveys to be cancelled.

The Department will publish the detailed responses received to the public consultation on the future of the Citizenship Survey in due course.

The 2010-11 Citizenship Survey fieldwork will conclude on 31 March 2011, followed by publication of reports in the months following analysis of that data.

Further to the initial announcement above, the reponses to the technical consultation on the future of the Citizenship Survey have been published and are available below.
