About the status of official statistics.
This year only 241 of Britain’s 371 LAs supplied data for the report. Because of this data shortage we could not produce a meaningful full report.
Updated 7 May 2021
A new version of the Local Authority Statistics 01 April 2010 to 31 March 2020 Superseded excel file was uploaded because the original excel file presented data in tab 4.1 in a different way to previous Local Authority Statistics. Tab 4.1 in the superseded version can now be compared to previous years as it excludes pre-planned inspections to premises where a Gambling Act permit is required but not an operating license from the Gambling Commission.
