The latest #infectionsurvey from @ONS shows signs of an increase in England, from 0.07% to 0.09% (or 1 in 1,110), though the CI is from 0.07% to 0.11%, so it's too early to be sure.
Wales stays the lowest at 0.02% for the second week - that's 1 in 4,340.

N Ireland falls from 0.07% to 0.06% (1 in 1,550), and this week Scotland shows the biggest fall, from 0.08% to 0.05% (1 in 1,960).
Note in the chart how wide the CI's are for all but England, so any one week needs to be considered with those in mind.

Possibly surprisingly, given the focus on B.1.617.2 and the NW, that's not the area that is showing signs of increase. Instead ONS notes Yorks/Humber, the North East and South East as the areas where it judges prevalence to be increasing.
