Scots fail to return census

HALF a million householders in Scotland could be facing fines of £1000 because they have failed to return their census forms.

Three weeks on from census day on March 27, more than two million questionnaires have been completed on paper or online but 20% of households north of the Border have still to fill in their personal details and return the surveys to organisers.
