Verdict

Keyless spreadsheet and report files on GOV.UK from Defra. Survey-based estimates from household diaries, so use them for trends and group comparisons, not exact totals. Licensed OGL-UK-3.0: the page says "All content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, except where otherwise stated". Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
