The latest business closure figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for Coventry, and England, are available for 2014-2018 . To note, the business closure figures were published as a special ONS request for Coventry and England but not the Coventry North East Constituency. 2019 estimates may be available from the ONS upon request.
