Slight rise in sales volumes, says ONS

Retail sales rose 0.6% in the three months to November, compared to the three leading up to August, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
According to the latest data, this was partially due to strong clothing sales in September.
The ONS has today (19 December) published its retail sales report for November 2025, which showed sales were up 0.7% when compared with the same period last year.Related Story Retail jobs slump to ‘record low’, says ONS16/12/2025 x 12:13 PMH
