England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland The highest proportions describing themselves as White British were in the North East, Wales and the South West (all over 95 per cent). 87% of the population of England and 96% of the population of Wales gave their ethnic origin as "White British". There were two Census questions in 2001 on the topic of ethnicity.

1. "What is your country of birth?" with tick box options of: England; Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Republic of Ireland and Elsewhere.

2. Ethnic Group. A change from the 1991 survey was that people could tick "mixed" for the first time. It asked "What is your ethnic group? People were asked to select one section from A to E, then tick the appropriate box to indicate their cultural background.

Proposed changes to the 2011 Census regarding "Ethnic Group"

There have been widespread calls for the 2011 national census to include extra tick boxes so people can identify their ethnic group in category A as Welsh, English and Cornish[1] [2] (at present the tick boxes only include British, Irish or any other. The Welsh people ( Welsh: Cymro ("Welshman" Cymraes ("Welsh woman" Cymry ("Welshmen/women" Cymry The English people (from the adjective in Englisc) are a Nation and Ethnic group native to England who predominantly speak English The Cornish people (Kernowyon are regarded as an Ethnic group of the United Kingdom originating in Cornwall. Although people could record their individual nationalities in the United Kingdom Census 2001, there was no provision for a tick box so that people could clearly identify as part of these ethnic groups. By not having this option in the survey there have been some claims of racial discrimination against these groups.
