Public Figures

Britain’s official statistics

The edition of 25 September 2026

Nothing notable published today.

We would rather send you this than manufacture significance.

Only one of our datasets was due a check this morning: the port freight and airport passenger tables. Both came back byte-for-byte identical to the copies we already hold — the port tables have now been re-read daily for thirteen days since their quarterly release on 12 September without the publisher changing a digit, and the July 2026 airport figures we archived on 23 September stand exactly as published. Nothing was revised.

Everything else is between releases. The house price and claimant count collection windows closed yesterday, with the July house prices and the August claimant count standing as published. The prison bulletins and NHS England's waiting times closed their windows on 20 September; the August prison bulletin stands as published, and the waiting times fetcher still awaits repair against the publisher's changed pages before the October release. 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.

The government statistics calendar listed one release today, monthly sea fisheries statistics from the Marine Management Organisation, which is outside our coverage.
