Anyone watch Brassed of Britain. This programme had a episode for junk mail, and according to that the census is one of the main sources used to send junk mail. The reason they use it, is that all the details except for your name are available, this will include your address. A quick cross reference and they have your name. The Census as we know is compulsory, however nobody said you had to tell the truth. I think everybody should lie until the goverment stop selling the census to marketing companies. I think next time I might add a Starwars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc... spin to my answers

I used to work with Census data and in England and Wales the nearest you can get with publicly available information was to within a few hundred people in each Enumeration District. In Scotland the data is more fine grained with each Census Output Area containing a few dozen people. Either way, it is not to household level. For marketing purposes accessing the Census data is way too expensive (a company I used to work for paid three quarters of a million just for Scotland, by extrapolation that workes out at £8.25 million for the whole of the UK, where as Marketing datasets from companies like CACI[^] come in at around £5000 each, and that is re-aggregated to postcode level which is more useful for mass-mailing.

Erm, I'm afraid they do. It's against the law to put incorrect information in the census. I seem to remember something about a hefty fine about lying on the return. It seems only the religion question wasn't compulsary, so putting whatever you like there wouldn't of mattered .

Actually, if you want to know something really scary. In Scotland the Register of Sasines (equiv. of the Land Registry in England) is fully public and 100% accurate since 1640ish. It is (at least when I was using it, before the last update of the Data Protection Act in 1998) fully accessible by anyone who wishes to view it. It contains details of who bought a property, from whom, for how much, a description of the property, the text of the title deeds, Mortgage details (if supplied) and so on. I remember being in a meeting with some people from the General Registers of Scotland (when Gazza played for Glasgow Rangers) showing us, as an example of the information available, Paul Gasgoin's (sp?) house near Loch Lomond. He paid IIRC £427,000 and had a mortgage of £200Kish from Barclays. Why is it public? Because in the 1300s King Robert the Bruce after gaining Scotland's independence from England declared that he was King of the People, rather than King of the Land as Edward I of England had done. RtB set up the Register of Sasines so that all property transactions could be recorded. The Register has been 100% accurate (given a few months of lag for Lawyers to sort out changes to deeds when a property changes hands) since the mid-17th Century. Even today, England's Land Registry can't claim 100% accuracy.
