The information requested is not held centrally.

The information is not available, because the SSCS Generic Appeals Processing System (GAPS) cannot calculate the average rate per day. Venues may not be used daily, and a daily average would therefore be statistically unreliable. Furthermore, the relevant computer records are not run on a daily basis.
