Census questionnaires will begin dropping through people's letterboxes from Tuesday March 8 in one of the biggest single mailouts the Royal Mail has handled.

The distinctive purple and white envelopes begin their journey to around 26 million households in England and Wales . By census day on March 27 every household will have one.

All the census forms are printed, the advertising to raise public awareness is underway, the field staff are ready to start, the data processing centre is open for business, the census helpline is ready to roll and the online facility is ready to receive the first of many completed census questionnaires.

2011 Census Director Glen Watson said: "People should look out for the purple and white envelope landing on their doormat in the next two weeks. Now that the forms are being mailed out we're in great shape for the 2011 Census. Once people get their form they can, if they prefer, fill it in online by going to www.census.gov.uk

Just a questionaire asking about house/employment info really for Government statistics and (apparently) how improvements can be made based on that info

Just some brief info about the people living in your house (nationality etc) and employment status really

also what kind of questions does it ask?

The 2001 census was the first year in which the government asked about religion - 390,000 people entered their religion as Jedi

Unless you have a houseful it shouldn't take too long :) It's mainly made up of info about all who live there
