We said

Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we are not able to disclose the requested information, as this would identify individual businesses. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) renders it a criminal offence to disclose information held by our organisation for statistical purposes that would identify an individual or a body corporate. As we are prohibited by law from publishing data in which individual businesses can be identified, Section 44(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
