Status
What we hold, when we last fetched it, what we are waiting on, and what we have deliberately decided not to use. A data site that is quiet about its own freshness is asking to be trusted on the one thing that ought to be checkable.

Published
7 reorganisations are published as their own table, covering 3,740 of the 3,816 predecessor-to-successor relationships we hold. The remaining 20 reorganisations are smaller than the publication threshold and are listed in full on the index rather than given a page each — a page with four rows on it and a wall of boilerplate helps nobody and is exactly how a data site turns into filler.
Known limits of what we hold
These are stated on the pages they affect as well as here.
- Northern Ireland constituencies. This vintage of the Code History Database carries no live Westminster constituency codes for Northern Ireland. Our constituency figures therefore cover 632 of the 650 seats. We do not publish 632 as though it were the total.
- Missing Statutory Instruments. ONS records an instrument against many changes but
not all. Entries carrying
1111/1001,2011/1001or2021/1001are markers for its own re-coding exercises rather than Orders — only 47 of the 361 live local authority codes carry a real instrument. We show the rest as absent rather than presenting a placeholder as a citation. - Two malformed codes. The source contains two codes that are not valid GSS codes
(
E0500534,E050000511). We load them verbatim and flag them rather than silently repairing or dropping them. - Register rows are not codes. A renamed code appears in the register more than once, so row counts and distinct-code counts differ. We publish both.
Loaded but not yet published
The company insolvency record-level series is in the pipeline — 218,696 records from 2016 to the present, under the Open Government Licence — and is not yet rendered as pages. It will appear here when it is, not before.
Not in use, and why
Innovate UK participant data would let us publish something genuinely new. It is not in use. The publication page states no licence at all; the only licence term reachable from it is a non-commercial Creative Commons term, which would not permit this site. We have asked the publisher to confirm which applies. Until they do, the data stays out — a site whose whole proposition is provenance cannot build its most interesting figure on a licence it has not read.
