Abstract

The inclusion of identity questions in censuses opens up new and complex horizons for quantitative analysis. In this Reply we examine these difficulties, especially those associated with the enumeration and interpretation of such data. We present Census data to illustrate these problems and which support the claim that many Jews in Britain identify not only by religion but also, or instead, by ethnicity.
