“The Cornish are recognised
as a national minority through the Framework Convention for the
Protection of National Minorities, just the same as the Irish, Scots and
Welsh. It is scandalous that the UK Government and Office of
National Statistics consider it acceptable that the Cornish will be the
only UK national minority to be denied a tickbox on the 2021 census.
This is discriminatory. It is also illogical, prejudicial, disrespectful
and just plain wrong.
But we must not give up. We must redouble our efforts to push for a Cornish tickbox and to pressure the UK Government to do the right thing and to meet its obligations through the Framework Convention.”

The UK Government has published a White Paper entitled “Help Shape Our Future: The 2021 Census of Population and Housing in England and Wales.” It states that there will not be a Cornish tickbox on the next census.
