We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold analysis showing UK Large Goods Vehicle Drivers (SOC 8211) broken down by nationality or country of birth. In order to provide this, we would need to create bespoke analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to FOI requests.
However, the information you have requested, or something similar, may be available via our 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 proportions of the population with degrees.
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
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:
