I haven't drafted this item, because the source text can't support it. The assignment is a note on family returns from the UK between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2025. The source contains no such note. It has four other attachments, all updated 8 October 2026:
- Northern Ireland enforcement activity, 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2026
- Returns from the UK, 1 July 2024 to 31 July 2026
- Illegal working and enforcement activity to the end of June 2026
- Marriage referral and investigation scheme disruptions, 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025
None of them covers family returns, and the 2023 to 2025 period appears only in the marriage referral data. The 5 March 2026 event date also doesn't match anything in the source. A draft on family returns would fail the fact check and couldn't be published.
To move this forward, I need one of the following:
1. The family returns note itself, or the correct URL or attachment text, and I'll write the Report item from that. 2. A different item from this source. The most useful one is probably the returns statistics: 80,286 returns from 1 July 2024 to 31 July 2026, and 78,137 in the two years to 30 June 2026, up 52% on 51,542 in the two years before. I could add a `bars` or `before_after` infographic. Illegal working enforcement, Northern Ireland enforcement and marriage referral scheme disruptions would each work as a separate Report item.
Tell me which you want.
