Information you cannot find

If you cannot find the information you need, it may have been published in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

You can send an FOI request if you still cannot find the information you need.

Information that cannot be released

We cannot send you information if it’s part of an official statistic that has not yet been published.

This is because the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008 limits access to official statistics until they’re published.
