Abstract: Traces the history of the Census of Production, focusing on the pressures which have caused it to develop in particular waysThe Census of Production Act 1906 paved the way for the first Census to be taken about economic activity in 1907.

In the first part of its existence, it had a major impact on developments in statistical legislation and methods. The common themes running through the evolution of the Census of Production are examined, how these are driving currentdevelopments and what the future is likely to hold.
