Forthcoming publications
This schedule gives the planned publication dates of all of the department’s annual, quarterly and compendium statistical releases for the coming year.
For reasons of brevity, we have omitted the monthly release of statistics on UK international sea passengers, SPAS0107, usually released on the second Wednesday of each calendar month.
Department for Transport no longer asks transport questions on the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey. These statistics are now covered in the National Travel Attitudes Study (NTAS), the first series of which was published in May 2019, and included BSA 2018 data. As such, there will be no July 2019 BSA publication.
