You asked
I am requesting some data regarding businesses in Mid Wales. I am looking for information on how many businesses in Powys are receiving survey letters and how many are completing them.
We said
Thank you for your request.
For the year 2024 – there were 3,207 times that a business from Powys was contacted with a request to complete a questionnaire for a statutory ONS survey.
The number of responses was 2,438.
In all cases where we do not receive a response to our statutory surveys, we use a range of approaches to engage with business respondents to prompt survey completion. We take enforcement action against businesses who fail to respond as a last resort.
