NOT MUCH CHANCE
OF CENSUS BEING TAKEN DURING WAR TIME. QUESTION RAISED IN HOUSE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A complaint that no census had been taken since 1936 was made by Mr H. S. S. Kyle when the Census and Statistics Department’s Estimates were under consideration by the House of Representatives this morning. Mr Kyle expressed surprise that the Government had not taken a census before the forthcoming election, because it had •a great deal to do with the alteration of electoral boundaries, and it was apparent that there had been a wide redistribution of population in the last two years.
The’Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr Sullivan), in reply, said that while the Government Statistician had many problems to face in connection with manpower, arrangements had been made with the Government Printer flor some time regarding the taking of a census, but the Government Printer was also faced with problems of manpower and supplies, and' it looked as if there would not be much chance of a census being taken during war time.
