STATISTICS OF TRADE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1949 - SECT 2

Returns for the purposes of census.

2.(1) The Ministry may, subject to the provisions of this Act, prepare and
issue such forms and instructions as it deems necessary for the taking of a
census under this Act, but nothing in this section shall be construed as
preventing the use, in connection with any such census, of any form or
instruction issued by any department of the Government of the United Kingdom
under any Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom containing provisions
similar to the provisions of this Act.

(2) A person shall not be required to furnish returns for the purposes of a
census under this Act except in pursuance of a notice in writing from
the Ministry requiring him to do so; and the Ministry shall issue, with the
notice, the forms which that person is required to complete.

(3) A person required to furnish returns for the purposes of a census under
this Act shall, on or before such day, being not less than two months after
the service of the said notice, as may be specified therein, comply with that
requirement in such manner as may be so specified:

Provided that in their application to a person who has been allowed to furnish
returns with respect to a period ending not later than the thirty-first day of
October in the calendar year preceding the date on which the said notice is
served on him, the foregoing provisions of this sub-section shall have effect
as if for the reference therein to two months there were substituted a
reference to one month.
