Thank you for your request.
The information you have requested can be obtained from the customer services team of ONS Social Services division. This team provides an ad hoc analysis service, including - of relevance in this instance - tabulations of Labour force (LFS) and Annual Population Survey (APS) data, both of which contain question variables relating to ethnicity. This service is subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate.
Details of the variables included in these datasets can be viewed in the LFS User Guides; https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/methodologies/labourforcesurveyuserguidance
If you would like to enquire about our service then please contact socialsurveys@ons.gov.uk, confirming the data you require.
They can then advise on full feasibility and whether any cost will be incurred to produce data on your behalf.
If you are able to do your own cross-tabulations you could purchase an anonymised LFS or APS dataset from the UK Data Service.
Details on costs and how to download the data can be found on their website:
