It is one of the 14 pages of the Jurisdictions block, inside official figures. The raw data is in legal-data-2026.json.

Verified: Read in the primary source: the consolidated text of the statute or regulation itself.
Secondary source: The rule and the starting figures are official, but the resolved figure is not published by any authority: we work it out and show the arithmetic.
Not yet verified: We have not been able to confirm it against the primary source yet. It appears here for transparency and is not published as a firm figure on any other page of the site: the production build stops if anyone tries.
