Our news stories often refer to reports, produced by others and directly related to FM – or indirectly related but still very relevant.

To help make these more accessible to our readers, many are listed below. We add to this list regularly and they are shown broadly in date order, with the most recent at the top. But a word of caution - if you are using one of these reports, it would always be worth checking with the source to ensure it is the most current information available.

The links below will take you to our news story for background and context. Each story includes a link so that you can download the report in question.
