Match each date to its reference month

The reference month identifies the period the figures describe. The release on 21 January 2026 covers December 2025 data, while the release on 20 January 2027 covers December 2026 data. Read both columns when matching a release to the month you need.

Read the time as UK local time

Every release in the table is scheduled for 07:00 UK time. The UK switches between GMT and BST, so use the time zone that applies on the release date when converting the publication time. The table's coverage ends with the January 2027 release.

Check the source and API coverage

The schedule was checked on 8 October 2026 against the ONS release calendar. Use that official calendar to confirm the publication date and reference month.
