Normally official statistics are published for [name_u]England[/name_u] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m], and [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] separately, along with analysis of the results. This year there’s been nothing. Does anyone know why?

I can’t remember who, but someone here did write to them and they said there was a delay? Let me find it and I’ll update
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: thanks to @Archer27 who messaged them - they said there was a delay due to limited resource and hoped to have it out around mid [name_u]December[/name_u] - so any day, maybe?

Thanks @Greyblue - yes, I did email the ONS and they said provisionally mid-December. I can show you the exact email if that helps!
