Public Figures

Britain’s official statistics

The edition of 13 September 2026

Nothing notable published today.

We would rather send you this than manufacture significance.

Five of the datasets we cover were fetched this morning — the prison bulletins, the port and airport tables, house prices, the claimant count and NHS waiting times — and every file came back byte-for-byte identical to the copy we already hold. Nothing new published on a Sunday, nothing was revised, and the two figures the Department for Transport restated yesterday survived their first re-read unchanged.

Three releases we cover are now due within the fortnight: HM Land Registry's July house price figures have historically landed on the second or third Wednesday of the month, which points at this coming week or next; NHS England's July waiting times are past their usual second Thursday and due by the 20th; and the claimant count's September release falls on a Tuesday within its window. MHCLG's newest temporary accommodation figures, in a changed file format since 20 August, still await a human reading before our software will parse them.
