Government Petition to Release Census data after 70 years

Yay! The power of democracy. Someone started an E-petition to get the PM to release Census data after just 70 years instead of the current 100 year rule.
This would allow census information from 1911, 1921 and 1931 to be used by the general public researching their family history in the absense (or failing memories) of their elderly relatives. Birth, Marriage and Death information is already available so why is information about where people lived hidden."
