    Reason for change

    As the demand increases for statistics and data to measure the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have had to change data gathering and release practices, focusing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. As such we have re-scheduled this release. Please see our statement on how we are responding to the coronavirus illness: https://www.ons.gov.uk/news/statementsandletters/covid19andtheproductionofstatistics.
