We said

Thank you for your request.  

Public Health England (PHE) are responsible for PCR testing so would be better placed to assist with your query. They can be contacted via email at wn_coronavirus@phe.gov.uk.

We run the COVID-19 Infection Survey which estimates the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 in the community, based on representative sample of people in the UK.

In the dataset accompanying our weekly bulletin, you can find Percentage and Cycle threshold (Ct) values of COVID-19 cases from our survey for the UK, as well as for each nation individually, on tab 6a.

Please see further Ct analysis conducted by our academic partners here.
