(1) Statistical information relating to the matters specified in the First
Schedule may be collected by sampling, in place of a full enumeration, where
the use of that method is considered appropriate.
(2) Sampling may also be used to test a questionnaire and a statistical
procedure before finalisation.
(3) It shall not be a defence for a person who has failed to fill in a return,
or to answer an inquiry, to aver that only a portion of a particular group of
persons is required to fill in the return, or to answer the inquiry.
