Sorry Carol but the law states that the information remains secret for 100 years. We have been waiting a decade for the 1911 census and now you (and the rest of us) will have to wait another decade for the 1921 census.

Thats the way the law stands at the moment although I have heard that there are moves to get the date of release relaxed to 80 years instead of 100.
