Statistical Information.—The statistical office for New Zealand is the Census and Statistics Department (Wellington, C.1.); Government Statistician: G. E. Wood, O.B.E., M.A.
The beginning of a statistical service may be seen in the early “Blue books” prepared annually from 1840 onwards under the direction of the Colonial Secretary, and designed primarily for the information of the Colonial Office in England. In 1848 New Zealand was divided into two provinces, the province of New Munster being particularly active in the statistical field. Most of the later 10 provinces carried out some form of statistical activity although there was a general lack of uniformity. A permanent statistical authority was created in 1858. It was originally associated with the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages but with the passage of years the association of the statistical branch with the registration branch became only nominal. By the Census and Statistics Act 1910, the title of Government Statistician was given to the head of the statistical branch and in 1915 the “Census and Statistics Office” replaced the former “Government Statistician’s Office.” From 1858 to 1931 the statistical office was under the political control of the Minister of Internal Affairs; in 1931 it came under the Minister of Industries and Commerce and from 1 April, 1936, it was accorded full departmental status under the Minister in charge of Census and Statistics.
The oldest publications consist of (a) census results from 1858 onwards and (b) annual volumes of statistics (first published 1858 but covering years back to 1853). Main current publications:—
